Talladega College Partners with Kaplan to Offer Students Free Comprehensive Prep for Graduate-Level Admissions Exams and Professional Certifications

Talladega College, Alabama’s first private, liberal arts college serving Black students, announced today that it will immediately begin providing all of its undergraduate students with free prep courses for graduate-level admissions exams, including the GRE®, GMAT®, LSAT®, and MCAT®, and professional certifications, through a new partnership with global educational services provider Kaplan.

“Our community of educators is committed to ensuring that our graduates are equipped for the global community through academic excellence, moral values, community service, and professional development. And we know that a sound investment in Talladega College students like this will help them achieve their career goals and have brighter futures," said Dr. Gregory J. Vincent, president of Talladega College. “Our partnership with Kaplan, supported by our critical and strategic use of Title III funding, will help ensure that we continue the College’s historical legacy of preparing students not only for the world of work but also for advanced graduate studies.”

Kaplan has prepared students for standardized tests for 85 years, and Talladega College is among its first HBCU partners for the company’s new ‘All Access’ initiative, joining Xavier University of Louisiana, Howard University, and Delaware State University. Cleveland State University is also a partner and recently reported excellent results for its students since signing on last year. As part of Kaplan’s All Access mission, colleges, and universities can help their students prepare for a variety of high-stakes exams and secure professional certifications that they need to reach their ultimate career goals.

“By partnering with Kaplan, Talladega College is increasing its investment in the future and promise of its students in a powerful way, and we’re incredibly excited to partner with them to help them reach their full potential. Providing these free test prep resources for so many important exams and certifications is a real game changer in Talladega students’ educational and professional journeys,” said Mark Reimonenq, Kaplan’s director of university partner solutions. “Whether because of the price of preparation or because of how difficult the exams are, many students see tests as a barrier, instead of an opportunity. With All Access, Kaplan is eliminating these challenges, providing them with best-in-class instruction with no out-of-pocket expenses. We’ll announce additional partnerships in this area soon, as more colleges and universities recognize the value of All Access.”
