Outcomes Overview
Rasmussen graduates face a challenging financial reality after completing their degrees. With median debt of $20,899 and median earnings of $39,080 ten years post-graduation, graduates carry a debt-to-earnings ratio of 53%. Monthly loan payments of $222 consume about 6.8% of typical graduate income. The 35% loan repayment rate signals financial strain for many former students. Rasmussen focuses heavily on healthcare and business careers, fields that typically offer steady employment but modest starting salaries. The 95% employment rate shows graduates find work, but the relatively low earnings compared to debt burden create long-term financial pressure. This represents a weak return on investment for most students.
