Rasmussen Reviews

Bad communication between students and all faculty Financial aid is very unorganized

I love Rasmussen it been somewhat convenient but the experience have not been good the expectations that Rasmussen set for there student should be the some for instructor some of the instructor lye on the student basically falsely accusing the students for what reason non just rude and nasty and not a truthful bone in there body some of them even lye act as if they will help just text are call that what they say but it all a lye they are not helpful they don t make there self available for the student when need help some are rude some you can t reach them even when they say their available there not when I finish school I will never treat anyone this I ve been treated

The classes are well suited for the degrees The course information and instructors at time are lacking in information to complete the assignments

I am very proud of my accomplishments achieved with Rasmussen College and I loved the fact that I was able to fast track my degree I found the advisors to be very helpful and encouraging during my courses as they would remind students of assignment deadlines at the start and finish of terms as well as other matters The reason I did not select great is because during some courses I struggled because of instructors being very inactive during the program some did the bare minimum in the course which was frustrating because they are suppose to answer questions and help guide you The other issue was that the program itself had some flaws in the assignments and tests I routinely had to monitor my graded assignments and tests to ensure that they were graded correctly and several times I found that I was marked wrong on assignments tests when in fact I was correct based on the course materials The instructors would correct this once it was brought to their attention and once they were able to reference sources that I provided but it was frustrating and time consuming having to go back and research every answer that I got wrong just to discover that I was actually correct With that being said I have no regrets and would do it all over again because it feels amazing to have made it through

I have been a student at Rasmussen for 3 years I completed the medical assisting program and continued on to the RN program Overall I had a great experience in the MA program and would recommend it When it comes to the RN program there are a lot of pros and cons that need to be considered Pros When I started the program you were only required to get a 65 on your TEAS test which is relatively low compared to other nursing programs This is your ticket into the program and you can start almost immediately where as other RN programs can have long wait times The program is accelerated so depending on what generals you have done it is around 2 years or less to get your associates They provide you with a lot of helpful resources such as an online library APA guides free tutoring resume building websites microsoft and career services Cons The program is very disorganized they provide you with very little study material or guidance on how to study for the exams You usually get a powerpoint for each week and will get a study guide you can go through on your own less than a week before the exam The exams are very challenging if you aren t a self starter this program is not for you They will not work with your schedule at all in the beginning of the program I was in class one day a week towards the end I am here 3-4 days a week Make sure the program is accredited Not all campuses are accredited When I fist started the location I was at was not and they didn t inform me of that or what that meant until my orientation day This can greatly impact your future employment so read the fine print an ask questions

I had to drop out because no one could help me with my computer problem Both my teacher and help desk were able to help I was referred to a 3rd party which I was told was not supposed to ever happen I can t move on in my degree till they fix it

Rasmussen changes the criteria every quarter and then do not inform students until the 3rd week in to the quarter Instructors make up their own rules when it comes to discussion posts and when grading assignments dock points because something was in the assignment which was not even listed as requirement for the assignment

I would say the CBE courses need a better explanation on how they work Because it says flexible with no deadlines but that is not true I get an email from my advisor about once a week telling me to turn in assignments

Teachers for most classes seemed disconnected Many times information and tasks were outdated with missing instructions on how to complete projects Sometimes teachers seem as if they don t understand the material they are presenting This school takes a sink or swim approach You will have to find a lot of information on your own to complete projects

My experience was wonderful while in school but the reason I rate three stars it s because once I completed the program graduated my advisor re-enroll me inside the bachelor completed program which I wasn t ready and I got Sick and could not start completely and now they re saying because I look at the class I m responsible to pay for the class and now they re holding my transcript hostage I cannot get employment or anything without my official transcripts and they don t care
