In 2003, DBS was taken over by Kaplan, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of The Washington Post Company, and by 2004, it had around 5,500 students.[1][3]


In 2006, DBS bought European Business School Dublin (EBS), a collective of eight independent business schools located throughout Europe.[4][5]


Portobello College, a well-established law school led by Raymond Kearns, was taken over by DBS in 2007. It allowed DBS to incorporate a law school offering both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes to its students.[6]
