The University of Connecticut (UConn) is a public research university, part of the Connecticut state higher education system. Kaplan, now rebranded as Purdue University Global, previously partnered with some institutions but does not alter UConn’s public status.
UConn operates as a state-funded institution, offering in-state tuition advantages. While Kaplan provided certain online programs or support services, it did not change UConn’s classification. The university remains governed by public oversight and receives state funding, distinguishing it from private universities that rely primarily on endowments and tuition.
