I saw a price comparison the other day and they are one of the more expensive schools. In my experience though, they are very professionally run and the classes are excellent.

I want to get a degree in accounting, and I have been researching Kaplan and other online universities. Does Kaplan offer to help you find a job after graduation or give you a list of companies who are currently hiring people with the type of degree you have?

Christine,

I responded to you on another thread on here too with some information about Kaplan. They have a career placement department that is supposed to work with you to help you find a job after graduation. I can't speak from personal experience on this one, but have heard from other recent grads that they were very helpful.

I actually researched for other students on my own using some of the networking sites on the Internet. I thought that way I'd be picking people more randomly and getting a real opinion.

I just finished doing the same thing as I'm making my choices about graduate school. I think it's really helpful to talk to someone else who has attended the school and gotten the same degree. They can give you insight on those specific classes and professors and if they've graduated let you know how they feel the degree has benefited them in the workplace (or not).

Thank you for the information, dallasgal. A university helping me to find a job is a very important selling point for me in my search for an online school. Kaplan sounds like a very good school.
