Outcomes Overview
Rasmussen graduates earn a median of $39,080 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 54%. Monthly loan payments of $222 consume about 7% of typical graduate income. The career college focuses heavily on healthcare programs like nursing and medical assisting, which explains the 95% female enrollment and strong 95.3% employment rate. Healthcare fields offer stable job prospects but modest starting salaries in this region. The 35% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle with debt management despite finding work. While employment outcomes are solid, the combination of moderate earnings and significant debt burden compared to income potential indicates a weak return on investment for most students.
