About This School

Rasmussen University-Minnesota is a private for-profit institution located in St. Cloud, Minnesota with approximately 8,617 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $17,962 per year. The graduation rate is 53%, and the typical graduate earns $34,300 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the 100% freshman retention rate is genuinely impressive and suggests strong early student support, but a 53% graduation rate means nearly half of students who enroll don't finish — worth taking seriously before committing. At $19,071/year after aid and a relatively low median debt of $13,000, the cost is manageable, but median earnings of $34,300 a decade after enrollment are modest and may not justify the investment depending on your program. Worth considering if you need flexible, career-focused programs and have a clear plan to complete your degree, but shop around and compare specific programs before deciding.
