Tricia Garrett of Bandon has been awarded an Associate of Applied Science in health sciences from Kaplan University. Garrett’s accomplishment was celebrated during a live graduation ceremony on Jan. 30 in Miami. General Colin L. Powell, the 65th secretary of state and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, served as the commencement speaker.
The Kaplan University winter 2010 class of more than 3,300 students earned their associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees — as well as professional certificates — completely online. Many of them traveled from around the country and the world to attend the ceremony, meeting face-to-face for the first time, according to a press release.
Kaplan University offers more than 125 academic programs and serves more than 63,000 online and campus-based students. To learn more about Kaplan University, visit
