Transfer Credits
We want to help you maximize your credit transfer while minimizing your tuition costs and time to graduation. With accelerated Bachelor’s programs and transfer credits, your goals are much more manageable.
Our seamless transfer policies are designed so you can:
- Transfer your Associate’s degree or previous credits from any area of study toward your accelerated degree program
- Receive credit for your general education courses regardless of when you completed them
- Earn credit for prior learning and military experience
To learn more about transfer credits, visit our Transfer Policy page.
Transfer Tip: Work with your previous higher education institutions to make sure your official transcripts are received directly by Rasmussen College by the end of your first term. You will receive email notifications alerting you when your transcripts are received and credits post to your account.
- Completion time is dependent on transfer credits accepted and the number of courses completed each term.
Save Even More with Flex Choice® Learning Options
Pursuing accelerated degree programs online doesn't have to be stressful. From credit for prior learning, self-directed assessments and competency-based education, Flex Choice adds flexibility to your schedule and is a more affordable way to receive credit by demonstrating what you know and can do.
Credit for Prior Learning
Past college coursework, military transcripts, course waivers and industry certifications all maximize your credits and reduce overall costs toward your accelerated degree. To learn more about credit for prior learning and transfer credits, visit our Transfer Policy page.
Self-Directed Assessments
With Flex Choice, you can get credit for what you already know in your online accelerated degree programs. These self-directed, interactive assessments are taken independently and completely online. If you prefer, you can get one-on-one guidance from a faculty member beforehand, and support materials are also provided to help you brush up. At $99 per assessment, you’ll save money and time.
Competency-Based Education
Many of these online accelerated degree programs allow you to show what you know as soon as you know it. CBE gives learners more control over time, allowing you to move quickly through topics you already understand and slow down with more challenging material. Our project-based CBE courses are paced for you and are accessible anytime, anywhere. Plus, you’ll have faculty support to ensure your success.
“When I realized I could transfer my credits and finish my degree in a year-and-a-half, I knew I could accomplish my goals. My degree helped me get my foot in the door to advance my career.”
