I graduated as an LPN on sep 14,2024 and my experience at Rasmussen was fantastic. I had incredible professors who were always willing to support me throughout my journey, and the staff was also very helpful.

I have been attending Rasmussen for a year now, and am so happy with my decision. If I could go back I would still choose this school. I read reviews similar to the current negative ones when I first started. They were definitely nerve racking, but I moved forward anyways because I liked the accelerated approach and wanted to get started with my career being that I felt I was “late” to get started with my education. Im in the nursing program, and have respected every instructor as a nurse. They all have lots of experience and helpful anecdotes. There has been one instructor so far that I felt was more difficult than she should be and made it hard for people to succeed. That was hard to get through but with the quarters only being 11 weeks, having a class you don’t love isn’t too bad. I made it through, and have had good or even amazing experiences with the other instructors. Despite other reviews, I feel that this is a great program for working adults (if you have a job that will respect your class schedule). Most of my friends in the program are very busy and are thriving. I also feel that the faculty is willing to work with you when you need help, as long as you actually need help and aren’t just being lazy. I had surgery during the first week of one of my quarters are ROYALLY screwed up my schedule. For some reason I just couldn’t get myself together and get my schedule straight and missed even four weeks of a couple classes. I was so surprised to find that the dean, my advisor, and both instructors worked with me to catch me up and went above and beyond in a situation that was purely due to my short comings and a small surgery. I also see lots of students go here who don’t speak English as a first language and I’m sure struggle with it, and have seen some instructors really help them through that (although I am aware I can’t speak to that struggle, just wanted to mention another way I have seen the staff be helpful). Sure, there are situations that feel unfair, but I understand that the staff needs to adhere to policies. I can think of a couple situations in which some friends were dealt a very unfair hand and struggled through it. Overall, this is a school in which you take your education into your own hands and advocate for yourself. You can gain lots of knowledge from these instructors if you choose to. You can also choose to advocate for yourself when you need help. I get where the negative reviews are coming from. I just feel that they aren’t giving the full picture and that my overall experience is positive. I would encourage anyone considering this school to go for it.

I see a lot of negative reviews about this College, which is now a University. I give Rasmussen a 4 out of 5 stars. I attended Rasmussen online program in Nov 2018. I graduated in Sept 2020 with my A.S. in Marketing. My experience with Rasmussen was great. The instructors were very helpful. If you don't understand any of the courses, you can easily send the instructors a message or even call them. Initial post discussions are due on Tuesday. Responding to two or more students' discussion posts are due on Saturday. Assignments and/or quizzes are due on Sunday. Also, Rasmussen provides tutoring services, which was very helpful. One problem I have with Rasmussen is receiving my honor cords. My GPA is 3.85, which is considered Summa Cumm Laude. I am supposed to receive honor cords. At first, the person in charge of the graduate program has been responding to my emails, but now he is not. I even contacted the Dean and he has not responded. I feel ignored. It's either you're going to send them or not lol. Some of you may think, "it's just honor cords, who cares." I worked hard for my degree and if I am supposed to receive cords as a token for my graduation, I would love them. College is not free and it can be very challenging. Unfortunately, based on the licensing rules for online programs, NY, Connecticut, and Rhode Island does not accept applicants from those states. I can no longer attend Rasmussen because of their new licensing rules. I will be enrolling elsewhere for my B.S. For those who say, "jobs will not hire you because you graduated from Rasmussen or from online college" is a complete lie. I know someone who graduated from Rasmussen online program with their B.S. and now has a great city job with a great salary. It's all based on your transcripts, resume, and how well the interview goes. Online college is even more popular and essential due to COVID-19.

It was a good experience with all the instructors I had!

Hello, I really enjoy my time with Rasmussen college. All my teachers, but one has gone over and beyond to ensure my success. Only thing I don't like so far, my advisor was switched without a notice or explanation. I now receive my honor roll certificate way later than normal. My expected graduation date has change to, I was told that it was wrong from the beginning I would recommend this school to anyone who needs a fast past college experience, having the classes 5.5 weeks long. Keeps me interested vs. The traditional 11 weeks class! Princess Vicent

Rasmussen College was a great at helping me finish my degree I had started over 20 years prior. The advisor was easily accessible and always got back to me in a timely manner. The teachers were amazing. The best was that they were actually still working in my field. They had realy experiences I could relate to and the projects actually helped with the work I was doing outside of the classroom. I work fulltime during the day and had a family to tend to in the evenings. It was impossible for me to ever meet with a LIVE classroom but that did not hinder my class choices at all. The teachers always posted the links to the recordings and I was able to watch them whenever I had time. This made going back to school something I could actually manage with a career and family. I have already told so many people to look into Rasmussen College because of the experinence I had and I will keep spreading the word. It was so worth it for me.

Had a great overall experience. I was not of the competence based classes as I had trouble with the grader and the instructor had to recheck the grades I had marked wrong even though they were correct!

Very knowledgeable instructors with a great focus on courses specific to your degree choice. 4 star rating because it is a very expensive school!
