Kaplan University has only recently begun to offer an online MBA degree but it has been offering numerous other online undergraduate and certificate programs for over 10 years. The university also has traditional brick and mortar campuses in its original service area of Iowa and Nebraska where it was known as Hamilton College but all campuses have since changed their name. The Kaplan name comes from the founder of Kaplan Test Prep.
