At Rasmussen University Program Directors work closely with Career Services Advisors to assist with and monitor graduate placement. The Career Services Advisor tracks graduates’ placement activity electronically and verifies all placements. Verifications include the graduate’s name, place of employment, date of employment, job title, supervisor contact information, and starting salary. Graduate placement reports are updated throughout the year. Students are introduced to their Career Services Advisor during the New Student Orientation process. Students are supported in their job search during the Career Development course, throughout the program, and upon graduation. In addition, each student remains in contact with his or her Career Services Advisor until he or she obtains a job in his or her field of study or in a related profession.
The Library and Learning Services resources include student access to Brainfuse, an online resource platform. Tutoring sessions are available in the Tutor Match section of Brainfuse and are conducted by Rasmussen student tutors in a wide variety of subjects. Appointments are available online, by phone, or on campus. Additional resources available to students through Brainfuse include the Writing Lab, where students can submit a written document for review by a Brainfuse Professor, and Live Help. Live Help offers tutoring and assistance live, and in some subjects like math, help is available twenty-four hours a day. All tutors work towards the College Reading & Learning Association (CRLA) Level I Certification through Rasmussen University’s Tutor Excellence Program.

PLEASE NOTE:

If there are fewer than eight enrollments in the training program, only the "Enrollments" number will be displayed; all other data is hidden in order to help protect the students' identities. The "Employment Outcomes" are calculated using information from Wisconsin's Unemployment Insurance Wage database. Most employers are required to report certain employment information to the State of Wisconsin, including quarterly wage information for their employees. Students whose information could not be verified in this database are excluded from these outcomes. If a "0" shows for any of these outcomes, it means that none of the students' information could be verified.

MAKING SENSE OF THE EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES:

"Average quarterly wages" means the total wages earned in a three-month period by all students who completed the program ("completers"), divided by the total number of completers.

"Median quarterly wages" means all the completers' quarterly wages are placed in order from lowest to highest and then we identify the student's wages in the middle. This information is provided because averages can be greatly influenced by really high and low wage earners.

To estimate monthly wages, divide the quarterly wages by three.
