People across the U.S. and throughout the U.K. will recognize the name Kaplan as a leading provider of education and career services throughout the world. Two things I didn’t know until recently are that Kaplan is a subsidiary of the Washington Post (newspapers) Company and that Kaplan offers online classes in affiliation with the University of Essex for degrees in Business Management, Sales and Marketing.

Taking classes online is a new and easy way to earn a degree with flexibility to study anywhere with no gea\geographic limitations. You can study from home, from your workplace during lunchbreaks, from a library or other public place, and while waiting for or using public transportation during your commutes.

Kaplan is offering Foundation Degrees which combine academic study with workplace learning, which incorporates real life, relevant knowledge and skills. Prior experience relevant to the degree program being pursued can be applied toward the Foundation Degree, which is equivalent to the first two years of an Honors Degree program.

Kaplan’s Foundations Degree Programs include Business Management, Entrepreneurship, Internet Marketing and Business Sales Management. If taking Online Management Courses is something you’ve been considering, perhaps now is the time to look into the Kaplan online classes. A visit to the Kaplan website can instantly provide you with a prospectus to download, a virtual tour you can view from your computer, an application and a request for a callback from an Academic Advisor.
