About This School

Rasmussen University-North Dakota is a private for-profit institution located in Fargo, North Dakota with approximately 52 undergraduate students enrolled. In-state tuition is $13,957 per year. The graduation rate is 29%, and the typical graduate earns $34,300 within 10 years of enrollment.

This school might appeal to working adults or career-changers in the Fargo area who want a structured, vocational path and prefer a very small setting — but the numbers here deserve a serious look before you commit. The graduation rate of just 29% is a real red flag, meaning fewer than 1 in 3 students who start actually finish, which raises legitimate questions about student support, program fit, and institutional follow-through. Graduates who do complete their degrees earn a median of $34,300 ten years out, while carrying $20,899 in debt — that debt-to-earnings ratio is manageable but tight, and it assumes you graduate, which statistically most students here do not. As a for-profit institution with only 52 undergraduates, there's very little community life, limited research or networking infrastructure, and outcomes that don't clearly outpace what a community college or regional public university could offer at lower cost and higher completion rates. My honest advice: before applying here, take a hard look at North Dakota State University or Minnesota State Community and Technical College — you're likely to find stronger graduation odds, comparable or better earnings, and more financial breathing room on the other side.
