Hi there folks! I'm starting to plan my post-high school life. Considering joining the military, then onto college. I've heard Rasmussen College is accommodating to service members. Is there a specific guide or resources that detail how this works? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Yes, Rasmussen College, which is now known as Rasmussen University, offers a comprehensive military support system for service members, veterans, and their families. This includes dedicated military financial aid advisors, a military admissions guide, and career services.
For starters, Rasmussen recognizes the training and experiences service members gain during their service. They accept military training as transfer credits as evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE).
Also notable, Rasmussen broadly participates in military tuition assistance programs and offers reduced tuition rates for military personnel, both active and veteran status, as well as their families. They also participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program which can help cover any costs that the Post-9/11 GI Bill does not cover.
Beyond financial assistance, Rasmussen offers flexibility which is critical for active-duty service members. They have a robust online program offering which allows students to manage their coursework around their unique schedules. Plus, they have accelerated programs, so you can complete your degree faster.
Finally, Rasmussen has a career services department that can help veterans translate their military skills into civilian careers, assist with job search strategies, and more.
Your first step should be to get in touch with Rasmussen's military admissions team, who can guide you through the process of applying, transferring credits, and financing your education. They could potentially offer even more information that is directly relevant to your unique circumstances.
