History

The school was founded in 1900 as the Rasmussen School of Business by Walter Rasmussen in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Rasmussen believed that the need for skilled professionals by the local business community was not being met. This belief led to the development of the school’s vision, which was:

  1. To prepare young men and women for responsible positions in all lines of business.
  2. To help pupils win their way to a noble manhood or womanhood.

The first classes were held in September 1900. With the advent of women's suffrage in 1920 through the passage of the 19th Amendment, the school’s female enrollment numbers began to increase. In 1945 Walter Rasmussen retired and sold his interest in the school to Walter Nemitz. Nemitz instituted a number of curriculum changes, requiring that students learn how to use calculating machines, adding machines, and duplicating machines. Additionally, he mandated that the schools' facilities be updated, which included installing fluorescent lighting in all buildings and purchasing 100 typewriters for students to use.

Best Answer

Yes, I've heard of it and people do move on to doing what they love professionally.

Question: Has anybody graduated from an online college or is attending?

I am about to enroll in Rasmussen College and I was wondering if it's a good idea or not. I have read that online colleges are becoming bigger and bigger, and that more and more people are going that route instead of going to college. I'm a stay at home mom and this would be a great opportuity for me but I don't know all the facts to attending an online college....if it's harde... if a large number of students actually graduate from an oline college or if just depends. Is anyone attending o.c., has done so, or and additional info. that I should know???

I agree! As long as it is accredited you should be fine. Just do some research on the school that you are applying to to see where they are ranked in the field that you are going into.

Best Answer

Yes, I know of Rasmussen College. They are legitimate- meaning accredited. They have many campuses throughout Minnesota and I think in Illinoise, but will have to check the website again. A bunch of my friends (I live in Minnesota) attend classes both on site and through online courses. They like the online courses and they learn a lot. One is doing business and most of the rest are doing Criminal Justice.
