The City University of New York School of Law announces that it
will provide all of its graduating students with free comprehensive
test prep for the bar exam through an expanded partnership with
global educational services provider Kaplan. 2024 CUNY Law
graduates will be the first to benefit from the partnership. In
addition to comprehensive bar review for all CUNY Law students,
Kaplan will also provide the school with enhanced curriculum
support to benefit all students throughout their law school
journey.
“CUNY Law is immensely proud to offer all students bar exam
preparation at absolutely no cost to them. The institution bearing
this cost is a clear example of our mission in action and something
we are proud to offer our students,” said David Baluarte, senior
associate dean of academic affairs, City University of New York
School of Law. “We are looking forward to Kaplan joining our
talented faculty and staff in CUNY Law’s efforts to support student
success from their first day through the bar exam and beyond.”
“Kaplan is excited to strengthen this partnership with CUNY
School of Law to offer this game-changing academic opportunity for
tomorrow’s practicing attorneys. By becoming an All Access partner
and investing in comprehensive integrated programming that
culminates in free bar exam prep, CUNY is demonstrating that it
understands the importance of supporting their diverse student
population from orientation through graduation,” said Kimberly
Batrice Hytree, executive director of bar institutional programs,
Kaplan. “The bar exam is the capstone experience in the journey of
aspiring lawyers and we’re going to be at CUNY Law students’ side
every step of the way with the necessary content and skill
development to help them be successful.”
As part of Kaplan’s All Access initiative, institutions of
higher learning can help their students prepare for a variety of
high-stakes admissions and licensing exams that they need to score
well on to reach their ultimate professional goals—with zero
out-of-pocket costs for students. Kaplan has prepared students for
standardized tests for more than 85 years, and CUNY Law is its
newest All Access partner, joining Rutgers Law School, Xavier
University of Louisiana, Howard University, Delaware State
University, Talladega College, Stillman College, Fisk University,
Hampton University, and Spelman College, among others. Cleveland
State University is also a partner and recently expanded the
offering to its alumni.
