Kaplan Career Institute is located on the south side of Cleveland in Brooklyn, an inner-ring suburb about five miles south of downtown Cleveland. The campus facilities are conveniently located on a bus line offering easy access from all over the Cleveland area. Cleveland residents take pride in their city's long and rich history. In fact, in his inaugural address in January 2006, City Mayor Frank Jackson declared it "a city of hope and opportunity where people expect quality life."
 
Kaplan Career Institute's goal is to help residents of the Cleveland area maintain or improve their quality of life through quality higher education programs that can open the door to new opportunities.
