About This School

Rasmussen University-Kansas is a private for-profit institution located in Topeka, Kansas with approximately 359 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $23,980 per year. The graduation rate is 45%, and the typical graduate earns $34,300 within 10 years of enrollment.

This school is best suited for working adults or career-changers in the Topeka area who need a flexible, career-focused program and don't have easy access to a traditional four-year university. The relatively modest debt load at graduation — around $20,899 — is a genuine bright spot, especially compared to many for-profits, and the small enrollment of 359 students means you're unlikely to get lost in the crowd. That said, the numbers here demand an honest conversation: a 45% graduation rate means roughly half of students who start don't finish, and median earnings of $34,300 a decade after enrollment are modest for the cost, with an annual net price of nearly $24,000. Before committing, I'd strongly encourage your student to compare this against Washburn University right there in Topeka, which offers similar career-focused programs at a lower cost with better outcomes data. If Rasmussen is genuinely the best fit for your schedule and goals, go in with a clear plan to finish — because the debt only makes sense if you do.
