Will I receive the same diploma in an online program?
Yes. Your diploma will be issued by Rasmussen University and will in no way be different from that of an on-campus student.
Are online courses cheaper?
No. Since online programs at Rasmussen offer the same quality education as on-campus programs, the costs are similar. However, our admissions advisors can help you identify scholarship opportunities, complete the required paperwork and receive the financial assistance you qualify for.

Can I work while taking online courses?
Absolutely. Online programs are ideal for those who are working or have other responsibilities. You can choose to take classes on either a part-time or full-time basis.
