Corridor Business Journal: Kaplan University will officially become Purdue University Global after receiving final approval from the Higher Learning Commission, Purdue officials announced. Purdue University, located in West Lafayette, Ind., last April announced its decision to acquire Kaplan University from Kaplan Inc., and on Jan. 11 unveiled the institution’s new name. Kaplan traces its roots to the American Institute of Commerce, which opened its doors in 1937 in Davenport to provide training for underserved job seekers. It was acquired by Kaplan Inc. in 2001 and renamed Kaplan University in 2004.
