You Can Graduate in as Little as Nine Months

At Rasmussen College, we can help you earn the credential you need in as little time as possible. In fact, many of our programs are designed so you graduate sooner, from earning a Certificate in as little as nine months to a Bachelor's degree in as little as 18 months.*

With streamlined completion times, you can be on track to start or advance your career quicker.

*Completion time is dependent on transfer credits and courses completed each term.

“I'm on track to graduate in 18 months. I'm working full-time and raising a family, so being able to earn my Bachelor's degree quicker is important to me.”

Keli, AcceleratED Human Resources Organizational Leadership Student

We Can Help You Land a Job in Your Field

Our degrees are designed to prepare students for careers projected to be in strong demand in the future so you can gain the competitive edge you need to land the job you want.

From hands-on experience to support from career services advisors, we are committed to helping our graduates reach their potential and achieve career success. As a result, 85% of our students would recommend us to their friends.*

*85% based on Rasmussen College survey of current students conducted from Winter 2008 to Fall 2012.

“I was thoroughly prepared for the work environment before I even started my career. As a result, I was hired at Highpoint Surgery Center two weeks into my externship there, so I knew right away what job I would have after graduation.”

Summer, Surgical Technologist Graduate

We're Accredited and Trusted by Leading Employers

Rasmussen College is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. That means potential employers recognize that your degree upholds the highest academic standards. Today, employers know our graduates-and they know our graduates have the talent and skills they're looking for in an employee.

With programmatic accreditation across seven schools of study and more than 800 employer partnerships, you can be confident knowing you are on the path to landing the job you want.

“Rasmussen College has a great reputation and we're turning out great nurses. Because of that reputation, I already have a job and I'm four weeks to graduation. So, I have one waiting for me, just to finish. To me, that's the greatest.”

Jeff, Practical Nursing Graduate

Your Tuition is Affordable and Locked In

We are committed to making college more affordable for you. That's why, in January 2013, we lowered full-time tuition costs an average 12% nationally and locked it in at a flat rate, so you know it won't increase from enrollment through graduation if you are continuously enrolled.*

We want to make sure you can have peace of mind knowing your costs will not go up, so you can focus on what really matters-achieving your academic and career goals.

*Average national FT tuition reduction, calculated by percentage change between new pricing versus previous pricing. Reduction percentage varies by program and state: (MN= 18%, FL= 11%, IL= 10%, ND=11%, WI= 11%).

Tuition reduction does not include $150 course fee.

“I received lower tuition so my degree is more affordable. It works well with my budget and is great for someone like me who is going to school and working full-time.”

Jordan, Digital Design and Animation Student
