Kaplan University-Hagerstown Campus Top Questions

What are the most popular student activities/groups?

James

I attend school online so I am not sure of what activities go on at the campus. I have read about special projects where students get together to help the community around the holidays and other events. I am in several honor societies and some of the projects we work on are community driven. One of the projects right now with the Ambassador and Leaders group is a reading program for the youth. We actually go to the schools and help children learn to read better. This project is amazing and allows me a way to give back to my community.

Kaplan University's online campus has many student groups and activities to choose from, including honor societies. One of the most popular honor societies is the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. I am a member of this society, and let me tell you, my bank account thanks m for it. There are advantages to every group/organization you join. It may not be financial, or it may be financial and academic AND professional, it just depends on the group. Each field of study has groups/organizations just for them, but there are also groups/organizations that are school-wide, such as KU Ambassadors and Leaders. It truly depends on what you are looking for. Some groups are for studying, some for advancing your career, some for helping others, some for acknowledgement, etc.

There is an online chat for students called the student lounge where students can chat and get to know eachother. A popular honor club at Kaplan is NSCS National Society of Collegiate Scholars. This club can provide a student with many valuable lifetime connections.

We have virtual seminars ranging from science to writing and careers. Since this is an online school we don't have the interactions physically with students.

Danielle

While attending classes online does limit the activities and groups you can join, there are many academic groups that you can join such as The National Society of Collegiate Scholars, Alpha Betta Kappa, Golden Key, Sigma Beta Delta, Net Impact, Student Accounting Association, and so much more to fit the school you are attending.

Samantha

All the groups have theirs place, there is not a particular popular groups because they all have something to offer to each individual. I am part of the National Collegiate Scholars and plan to enroll in more Honor Society base on my high GPA.

Kayla

The most popular activities and groups at Kaplan University are on networking websites such as Facebook, where students sometimes gather for out out class study groups. Other than that, each degree program offers different Honor Society and groups for students to gather. There are also other Kaplan University honors groups such as the National Society of Collegiate Scholars at Kaplan University, and even the Kaplan University chapter of Alpha Beta Kappa. These are great networking resources where you can meet other exemplary students and professionals in your field of study.

Sara

Depending on your degree there are different types of online clubs that you can join. If you have a high enough GPA there is an honor society that you can join. An example of another group is a group for those obtaining a degree in Early Childhood Development. There is a group where everyone can get together to discuss classroom activities and planning.

Brandon

Since this is a primarily online school experience you will miss out on a lot of the comraderie that you have with traditional campuses. They do have a few groups that you can join; or rather that will contact you when you are referred to them by academic advisors (NSCS, Phi Chi, Golden Key, etc.). Kaplan also has some campuses across the United States and these are what is called "blended", which means you may do some intern hours there but the majority of your classes will be online. That's about as close to interacting with actual people (in the flesh) as you're going to get with Kaplan.

Michael

There are all sorts of clubs that you can get involved in. Like science? There's a club for that. Into ecology, technology? There too. There's school facebook or twitter for staying in touch, making friends or, just finding out whats going on.
