On August 4, 2026, American Public University System combined with Rasmussen University and Hondros College of Nursing to form a single higher education institution. American Public University System (the System) now includes American Public University, American Military University, Rasmussen University, and Hondros College of Nursing. The System is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Public Education, Inc. (APEI). We are continuing to update our website to reflect our new structure.

This update applies to Wisconsin students only.
Rasmussen College is aware that Governor Evers issued Emergency Order #5 on Tuesday, March 17 ordering institutions of higher education in the State of Wisconsin to close for instructional activities by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18.
Rasmussen College is contacting the State of Wisconsin to determine how this order affects online lecture or theory-based courses within Wisconsin.
We will be in contact with you tomorrow when we have more information. All of us at Rasmussen College urge you to be safe and to take care of yourself and your families. Our teams are ready to work remotely and will be available to assist you. Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns you may have.
