Kaplan University - Des Moines
- Academic Flexibility

Army Friendly Flexibility

I chose Kaplan University for multiple reasons, but when it came down to it, flexibility was key. As an Active duty Army family, we move frequently and encounter situations most people never endure in their lives'. My classes are all online, but we have live seminars with our professors to learn and review all of our material. These seminars can fit to our needs and busy schedules. Often times, there are two or three different seminar times and days to choose from, so I always know that I can make class time work. Flexibility is what has allowed me to continue my education and in a successful way.

Academic Options

I am coming to Kaplan U from Univ. of Phoenix. There is a very big difference between the two, and I am liking what Kaplan has to offer. Phoenix gave me a hard time re-enrolling despite the major setbacks I just had in my home, and they gave NO options financially at all. Kaplan, on the other hand has options for financial aid for just in case something were to happen, so I wouldn't have these problems coming back to school when I need to, if I ever had to leave. I have been trying to transfer my credits from Phoenix to Kaplan, but with no success. So now, I do believe I am going to have to take those classes over.

Very Flexible

only required to log in once a week to a live seminar and if not able to attend you are required to do the alternative option (extra work) to get credit for that seminar. you have a week to do all your assignments and exams
