Ohio Institute of Photography (OIP) opened in 1971 as a highly specialized and innovative photographic training center. Less than four years later, a rapidly growing student body and an increasing need for additional space brought Ohio Institute of Photography to a more centralized location in downtown Dayton.

In 1991, the demand for trained individuals in allied health prompted OIP to change its name to Ohio Institute of Photography and Technology (OIP&T). A medical assisting program followed in 1994. Desktop media and professional imaging technology were also added to the curricula. In 1995, medical office management was added.

In July 1993, OIP&T was purchased by Educational Medical, Inc. EMI (the parent company) changed its name to Quest Education Corporation in September 1998. Quest was purchased in July 2000 by Kaplan, Inc. In December 2002, Quest changed its name to Kaplan Higher Education Corporation. Kaplan is dedicated to continuing the same excellent education for which OIP&T is known.
