Kaplan has partnered with the University of Adelaide to look at establishing a Kaplan University campus in Adelaide.
The two groups have signed a memorandum of understanding and subject to government approval, Kaplan will introduce e-learning technologies to deliver degree programs across Australia.
Students of the course will be able to study at Kaplan's Adelaide-based campus or in Australia online.
Financial services and business programs will initially be offered, ranging from bachelors to masters degree level. The first student intake will begin in 2011.
"This partnership representing Kaplan University's first international campus offers a range of exciting opportunities for both Kaplan and the University of Adelaide," Kaplan Asia Pacific chief executive Mark Coggins said.
"The sharing of educational resources and expertise with the University of Adelaide will be of great benefit to students and staff from our respective universities".
