Global education company Kaplan has been named one of America's Top Online Learning Providers 2026 and given a 5-star rating by Newsweek and data research firm Statista. The prestigious rankings were created through an independent survey of more than 10,000 participants, and focused on several key parameters, including overall satisfaction, overall recommendation, organization and accessibility, support and service, cost of program, organizational reputation, expected success, and the practical relevance of the contents. Last year, Newsweek and Statista recognized Kaplan as one of America's Top Online Learning Schools.
Kaplan Real Estate Education received special recognition for its online programs to help aspiring professionals earn their real estate licenses. Alongside students' online licensing courses, they have access to the Live Online Learning Hub, where expert instructors host sessions nearly every day to explain complex topics, reinforce key concepts, and answer questions in real time. Student feedback has shown that the Learning Hub helps improve understanding and readiness before exam day. Kaplan Real Estate Education also offers a Buyer Agency Professional (BAP) designation to help buyer agents succeed as they face a drastically different way to earn their commission. And earlier this year, Kaplan Real Estate Education released its inaugural Real Estate Survey of Trends, which explores the diverse experiences and viewpoints of professionals in the real estate industry, amid a changing industry landscape shaped by fluctuating market dynamics, shifting client expectations, and the advent of artificial intelligence.
