20 Best Bsn Programs In Minneapolis, MN (2022 Updated)

I loved being a student and now, working at Crown! I grew up in a smaller town, so the small town feel helped it feel a bit more like home. I also enjoy the many acres of land. I am disappointed they haven't built a baseball field yet, but other than that, they have a fantastic disc golf course, brand new football stadium, and even a softball field. And not to mention the beautiful rolling hills with trails to walk. And the Professors?! Don't even get me started- FANTASTIC!Alyssa Kranz

This has been the best educational experience of my life! I feel so blessed to be led by the most invested professors and staff in higher education. Their sincerest desire is to know you and see you succeed on every level! There is not one moment I felt like I slipped between the cracks at this institution, like many others might at huge Universities. This will be the best thing that will have ever happened to me in my career path. Thank you Crown!Miranda Kuschel

My overall experience at Crown was good, but was very disappointed in my last semester at the lack of care and empathy given to students. While prayers are nice, prayers without any empathy or action behind them don't mean anything. Even more disappointing the lack of care came from so called mental health professionals. Overall, I felt like in the end I was just another face in the crowd that they got money from.Sarah Johnson

This is not an honest university. They lie to students just to get their money and do not help students in any way. They even try shady tactics to steal your money like not allowing you to drop all your course within the drop/add period which is odd because that time frame should give you the authority to do so. They try to keep courses on your schedule so they can charge you for it. The financial aid department is rude and can never keep their information straight. You will always get a different answer with them. They are only nice to the students who get duped into giving them money, but if you ask them about your financial aid they get upset as if you are only supposed to be seen not heard. The staff are very unresponsive they do not pick up the phone, return phone calls and do not answer emails efficiently. An example if you ask them how much will it be for four courses and will it be costly. they will answer an answer like how many course do you plan to take. A lot of their answers either don't answer the question, don't make sense or are answering a question with a question. Plus, the cost per credit is very high for the type of school it is. Better schools have a lower cost per credit like schools on the east coast, south and west coast. The President ignores students and doesn't respond to them. Plus, a lot of the staff is lazy. A task that only takes a day or two to complete with take them three weeks. Upon admission they omit a lot of important information to lure you into their program. DO NOT ATTEND THIS UNIVERSITY! THERE ARE BETTER SCHOOLS OUT THERE FOR LESS. CONCORDIA- UNRESPONSIVE. UNREAL.IRRELEVANT.Amy W

This is by far the worst run school I have ever seen. First, the front offices can’t tell if you’re coming or going. They tell you everything is in order but then come back to you after classes are starting and tell you they forgot to submit your paperwork. They also like to have you sign up for programs they have zero possibility of even having get off the ground. So once your registered they pull a bait and switch on you and drop you into a program until your desired program eventually starts. Hint: the program never starts so you owe them a lot of money and never even get the degree you originally desired. This place definitely treats you more as a dollar sign than a student and couldn’t care less about your goals or future. Only that you pay them on time. There is some serious shady business that takes place in this school. Especially in the business programs. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to find out that they will be under investigation for secretly operating as a “For profit institution”. Hint: they will be soon because they have been reported. Also, don’t expect them to offer you any form of apologies, even when they know they mess up. When three students in a program confront the administrators and program chairs about their desire to learn, and the lack of cooperation from instructors, the entire management team runs and buries their heads in the sand. Honestly, my best advice is to cross this school off your list if you value your future, or have any interest in a real education. Front office: if you read this, we’re still waiting for an apology and some acknowledgement that you hosed us.tony valerio

I'm sure this would be a good school if I was able to actually login and do my work without a problem on a daily basis. But since I have to call the Help Desk everyday to get my password reset so I can get online and do my work, I can't tell. I have no problems logging into any other websites or accounts, and I have dozens of them. But try as I might to do something simple like put in a username and password and be able to get into the site and do my work seems to be a monumental challenge to this school. I've had two classes so far and my experience doing work here is traumatic. I absolutely dread coming to the computer to login because I know it's going to be an hour on the phone with the help desk and they're going to assume the problem is with my computer, like they always do. Someone needs to fix the schools' computer problem and stop blaming students for having login problems.Dino De Rosa

Think twice before attending this institution. I was enrolled to begin classes in the fall semester. One week before they began, DCTC contacted me saying they no longer offered the program that I signed up for. Again, ONE WEEK before classes began. This left me almost no time to scramble around looking for another school to attend for the fall semester. That kind of behavior is unacceptable and extremely unprofessional. The whole process just felt off anyway. They were always slow to respond, they fought every step of the way when I presented transfer credits from another institution. I was somewhat relieved in a way knowing I wouldn't have to deal with them any further. What a waste of time.Adam

Didn’t have the best experience overall. The instructor for the automotive technology class was only genuine once while he was teaching me something. Every other time, there was sarcasm and rudeness when trying to ask him questions. Not to mention half of the kids (quote “kids”) in the class were constantly on their phones and messing around. I wouldn’t have minded, except that we were placed in groups, therefor graded as a group. I wouldn’t return for the fact that I learned more working 3 months on the job than I did going 6 months to school, not to mention it was paid for.Sebastian Dina

Received my second degree here and they accepted a respectable number of credits from a previous college. Someone from admin called me a year or so after graduation and asked if I had gotten anywhere with my degree. When he found out what I was doing and where I had gotten in life he nearly dropped the phone. Thanks DCTC for sending me places in life I didn’t think were possible. But remember folks what you get out of it isn’t any more than what you put in.Eric Schmitt

My husband & I graduated from what was then Bethel College & Seminary in 1968. My years there are among the best of my life! We were privileged to sing with the College Choir – the best of the best of my lifetime experiences. I most highly recommend Bethel to anyone trying to select the best college to attend. I especially recommend it to music majors as their music program is outstanding! Bethel is a Christian University with a student body consisting primarily of dedicated Christian young people. As with any Christian school, there are a few students who are sent there by their parents with the hope that the school will straighten them out. Fortunately, these students are few and far between! I can't recommend Bethel highly enough!Kim43

I received my BA and my MA from Bethel and can say without a doubt that this University set an amazing trajectory for me in having a successful career. Beyond that, my faith was challenged and deepened. I've continued to build on 20+ years of incredible friendships that began at Bethel. Now, it is a joy for me to see MANY of my peers send their own kids to Bethel and to hear of the ways that they, too, are setting their feet on a firm foundation in faith and in vocational training.Jennifer Scott

I remember walking through the halls of Bethel University saying “I could live here”. Beautiful scenery, great food! Oh! The food!, quality of education is 🌎 class, they take sports seriously 🙌🏽, hostels are homely and the environment is clean. I am not an academic person but if I got a scholarship to Bethel, I would be the most enthusiastic academic individual you’ve ever seen 😂.Daniel Chikhwaza

So forever grateful I was able to spend 4 amazing years at this school. I am not sure what the other people reviewing recently are talking about, as I felt the community at this campus is very welcoming and friendly. It is a catholic school so they do teach and emphasize catholic studies, however there are many classes that center around other beliefs. I never felt like my beliefs were being stomped on, and I am not catholic. Also, if you are worried about your social life and getting the college experience, don't be! You can definitely still have the college experience and attend St. Kate's. The campus always has activities going on, and there are many schools in the area. I would definitely recommend this university!Katie M

First I want to say my advisor was amazing she was super helpful through all this mess. I was supposed to start this month but they said they were missing things so I couldn’t get in until the next semester when they had everything. but we had already sent them everything we had sent to every other college we applied to. They were the only ones we had this problem with. They then today told me that we weren’t gonna be accepted due to the fact that they don’t accept the accredited bodies that my school was accredited by due to varying standards idk what that means. But this was all something I wish they had just told me that from the beginning. absolute waste of my time and just stressful, plus expensive.Maddie Grace

This school is way too expensive for an OTA degree. You can also get the same online degree at less expensive colleges. I do not recommend St. Kate’s to anyone. Unless you have the extra money to waste. Plus, their requirements are ridiculous. Before I spent my money I did my research and thankfully I found an excellent college with amazing people who are always willing to help their students.Clara Diaz

After spending 4 1/2 years at UNW my thoughts and experience would take a book to finish. But I'll try to be short. Pros. I loved most of my professors. I had professors who actually cared for my success and are willing to go out of their ways to help. Many of my professors knew me personally and I wasnt just a number in their schedule. Which I can't say my other friends from other colleges can say. UNW pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me realize what my passions are; through realizing how much I disagreed with the institution, but nevertheless I matured. The friends I've made. True and great friends who all felt the same. lol Cons: granted not every student is and thinks the same, but there's enough consensus to make me believe the school does way too little to better itself. Too much of the school thinks they're past racism. Whenever we reach a topic on anything related to culture or race we would have less than 2 days to talk about it while other topics used a week easily. Professors uncomfortability trumps the need to discuss out issues. Teachers have openly say diversity is the issue. 100% of school advertisement would showcase vast variety of diversity and multiculturalism, yet students of color makes less than 5% of the entire body. And 95% of the students in the advertisements don't even go to Northwestern. I know this because I know most of those students and they've graduated years ago. Academically it was subpar for the price of admission. Tuition jumped $10,000 within the time I was there. The school preaches love yet it's hard to find any. As a student of color, for years i felt so out of place. We were referred as a horde of animals, we were unvalued, and were expected to fit into that sameness the school holds on to. I've heard and seen many use their gospel to reject our presence. They're friendly on the outside but could care less about who you are. There's more I can say, but my verdict is this: if you like monoculture, ethnocentrism, expensive decent academics, and want to go back to your tiny town, then Northwestern is great for you. If you're a student of color who wants a supportive community, a student body that strives for cultural acceptance, understanding, and REAL gospel love equaled with high academic quality, go somewhere else. Save yourself A LOT of money.whatcha howsya

This school needs to adapt to the supply and demand of skills in the market workplace. There are more students than there are jobs demanding the skills that this college and colleges in general is teaching. For example, the MIS program focuses heavily on programming and not enough in other IT skills such as business intelligence, data analytics, business/systems analysis, and quality assurance. Sure, this program and its current state of heavy programming courses has worked well for most alumni's to get roles in both programming and non-programming jobs but that is not the case for some students that do not have that high of a GPA. These students will have a TOUGHER time finding a job in a IT role that they want because they were not given the ability to choose more courses relevant to their career choices as opposed to a student that is more technical savvy and understand technology in general better. Not saying that these students with lower GPAs won't find a job but just that it will be 2-3 times as tougher. Companies are looking for more than just programmers but yet UNW and colleges in general continues to push a lot irrelevant coding courses on them that they will never use. I have been out of this school for a while and not once have I have had the need to use java, xml, and visual basis nor did the roles I have interviewed for (from the IT topics I listed above) have asked for it. A lot of companies are hiring for business/systems analysis, business intelligence, data analytics, and quality assurance but programming is the main focus for this program. This program is still stuck in the 80s-90s. This school needs to start adapting to the supply and demand of the workplace market.James Smith

I loved parts of my time on at Northwestern. I was in choir, played on the men's soccer team, and participated in various student clubs. But let's be real, Northwestern is only a friendly place if you are a white evangelical who is cool with patriarchy and spiritualized ethnocentrism. Do not attend if you are a person of color. They are institutionally racist and theologically conservative. I majored in education ( I now teach in South Bronx) and was not trained well to educate a diverse classroom. I even had professors deny racism was a real issue … In education, are you serious? (Can you say school to prison pipeline ?) The biblical studies department act like the Jesus police, and do not appreciate any perspective outside of selective biblical literalism. There are a few shining stars on staff who think outside the box, but they are literally apart of the underground and cannot speak openly in fear they will be excommunicated and fired. One saving grace is that Ron Ginn got me a placement teaching in North Minneapolis where I found great mentors. Such a sweet and loving man. This is a wonderful place if you are straight, conservative, classist, theologically conservative, white and plan to never interact with anyone outside of white evangelicalism. Be prepared to have loving people shame you with the bible if you think differently or look differently. Bethel is only slightly better, my wife attended there and said they are worse lolJon Avery Morales

Currently in the Automotive program and beyond grateful to be at Dunwoody. Dunwoody has already changed my life and it's only fall semester. In my honest opinion if you are seeking a top notch school Dunwoody has you covered. Aside from being a father (which will always be number one) attending Dunwoody was the best strategic decision I've made. Thank you for letting me share my experience so far.Halfbreed

The staff at this college is absolutely phenomenal (or at least the staff I have met this far). They went out of their way to help me in a situation I didn't ever think would have a resolution. In addition, this school proves you don't need a 4 year degree to get an amazing job as most of their degree programs are 2 years, yet they still retain an amazing job placement rate.Brandon

This place forever changed my life. I thrived in the small class sizes and hands on approach to labs. Dunwoody has close ties to industry professionals that help shape and guide the curriculum. I highly recommend this school. Keep in mind it is private, not-for-profit, and entirely tuition driven, so staff and faculty are very dedicated to student success.Mark Anderson

I currently attend a different college online. I have four remaining courses left of my program, three are offered spring semester while one isn't offered until fall. The one course I need that isn't available at my current college is available at Inver Hills which is why I enrolled in the course for spring. Upon completion, the course I take will transfer back to my original college so I can graduate spring. I have worked out all the details with my current college about this arrangement. I need Inver Hills to provide some bits of information and complete a form. I have spent the last week calling Inver Hills to which nobody responds. I have tried calling different departments-financial aid, admissions, etc. to which nobody responds. I have sent multiple emails to which I received only one response telling me to look at the Web site. Inver Hill's communication with students is terrible! This is ridiculous. What are the advisors and admission staff doing all day where they cannot be bothered to answer a phone call, email, or provide information?!Kat Elizabeth

I haven't even started the semester yet and have had everything that could possibly go wrong do so. They transferred my credits incorrectly which set back my registration by a few weeks, after two months my financial aid is still "processing" even after multiple phone calls being reassured it would be through the next day. Having no financial aid means my text book order was cancelled. And a week before classes start they dropped one of my courses putting me short on credits for graduation. No matter what time of day I call any department no one ever seems to answer and we play phone tag for days. All in all my experience seems to indicate that no one really cares about helping students and just goes through the motions. Happy the majority of my classes are online and I won't have to deal with anyone on campus for the most of the semester.Katelyn Niesen

I must ask those who complained about this school why did you enroll? I found my education and time here at Inver Hills highly useful. Why spend 64 credits when you can earn your 2 year degree for 60 credits and half the cost of your tuition at other community colleges? If you make the most of your time in school and do your work on time. You could get a lot out of it and done with a degree with the field of your choice. You can even take an advanced degree such as a Bachelors here. I love that I do not need to go to a main campus and take courses at IHCC. I am back to finish a few credits at IHCC and transfer to Metro State University to complete my Bachelors. Just like you shop for cars, the latest technology, and other stuff why not compare schools? Have you ever heard not to judge a book by its cover?Rachel Kelly

They want everyone to attend classes on campus. Come on. They proudly and loudly proclaim "Saint Paul College – We're Back this Fall". There are multiple new COVID variants out now with record hospitalizations in MN but Saint Paul college wants us all on campus. My wife and I are both working from home. Our employees cared enough about our safety to let us do this, but Saint Paul college wants us all on campus. My wife is taking classes at a private college and they told her all classes will be online, at least for now. No need to risk your health and come in, but Saint Paul college wants us all on campus. Thankfully I did my research by talking to them and decided against going here. Spending a little more so that I can stay at home and take my Lit classes online. Don't bother with this place. If you can, spend a little extra and have the peace of mind that you won't end up in the ICU with a tube down your throat. There, I did my research so you don't have to. Feel free to call them. They literally want everyone back on campus. Ridiculous and unsafe.Dana Cooper

I havnt attended this school, & along with my experience so far & reading the reviews I may not. I have a degree; however, I work as a nursing assistant. I love my job, but I often see aids being treated pretty poorly. So, as I get older, I thought maybe I could look into being an LP . In this role, I could work fairly with the aides around me…blah, blah, blah. So I requested more information. I recieved no call back, only an email saying I had to put an application in. Eh, no. I want information from you, to see if this is a good fit, so I can decide if I want to put an application in….I guess, maybe within the bigger picture, I did get the information I needed.Jane Hallett

I ate at the City View Cafe at St. Paul College. This is the cafe that is operated by the students in the culinary program. I recently enjoyed the Valentines Tasting menu and it was fantastic. The only criticism I had for the meal was the shell on the dessert was a bit thick (I cannot believe I am complaining about dessert). It was hard to gracefully eat but it was so worth it. The combination of flavors was divine. If this meal was any indication of the talent these students have, we are going to have sone great chefs (hopefully in the Twin Cities area) in the future.Sharon Moen

I will be completely honest. I did some PSEO courses here and thought it was a nice campus. There is some struggles and problems with the school, but nothing to make this not a choice for a college. Teachers are nice, most of the students are fine and just do there own thing, there is a couple of clubs and activities, and the class sizes see to be reasonable (smaller than JMHS). I think it is a good campus and should be considered an opinion and not thrown to the curb when looking for local colleges.Burner Account

What a joke… My wages are currently being levied for a semester I did not even get to attend! The Financial Aid/Counselor I worked with helped me sign up for all the classes needed for that semester but did not inform me that I had no available financial aid. By the time, I discovered this (3 weeks into class) it was too late to withdraw without paying full price. I called multiple people at the school but all refused to help or did not know how to help. Terrible practices.Nicholas Inman

Though some teachers care quite a bit the majority could care less about you and more about there personal life. Scared to walk around without being robbed. Worst school I have ever been too. Curriculum is nothing short of a disappointment. And to request help from anyone you might as well be strung up and laughed at in the main entry.Samantha Erickson

Bethany Lutheran Church, worshipping virtually (Zoom), physically distancing, but keeping our ties is now conducting the Sunday at 10 am Worship Services from the beautiful Gundale Chapel on Augsburg Campus. At this time limited to only worship leaders on site we are looking forward to when we can safely gather in person. Augsburg University and especially Leif Anderson has been wonderful to work with as Bethany moves out into the community and into a public church in passing on its physical building to Augsburg. Augsburg's support of spiritual and faith growth of its students and community within different religions is a joy to see and Bethany is glad to be a part of that.Lorraine Wookey

The cafeteria is subpar, not only in food quality, but in sanitary means. There is low variety and Augsburg encourages food waste by requiring that students' meals fit certain criteria, because they are paid to do so. As for cleanliness, the floors are sticky, and it is common to find a crushed banana or two on the floor. The tables and floors are not cleaned regularly, if at all, resulting in an unhealthy eating environment, full of bacteria. Not to mention, this school encourages unhealthful habits such as food waste and cleaning habits. This cafeteria should not remain in service.Ansel Erol (Sir. Anselot)

My mother, sister, and I are all proud alumnus of Augsburg (Class of 97', 08' & '16). The professors are great – they are always willing to help a student. Every year, at the beginning of the Fall Semester, students go out and volunteer around the community. They invite well-known speakers (i.e. Bill Nye, Steve Wozniak, and Jimmy Carter) to campus; both the public and students are invited to attend. They are open to all regions, not just Lutherans. I would recommend this school to anyone, but consider going to Community College then transferring, it helps with the cost.Tiffiney Biorn

When I first started signing up for my MBA I advised them that I had just graduated with my bachelors degree. My goal was to start August 5, and I submitted all my necessary paperwork and cooperated as such. When it got to my transcripts I was advised I could not start because the conferral date was not on the transcripts. The enrollment specialist told me to reach out to my previous school. I did and it was a hassle. I called the enrollment specialist at Capella to advise of the updates to only find out that Capella’s registrar team had already been in contact with my school. I wanted to start on the 5th as it was very discouraging to go through the process to be turned away at last minute. 1). Total waist of time as I took time out of my day to complete orientation and do what they advised of me. 2) I asked to speak with a supervisor who was very vague and could not provide the information needed. 3) I again called Capella to try and escalate the situation, but the manager never returned my call. I feel as if they had me sign up because they were the ones to get paid for each student to enroll and failed to educate me properly in the beginning, which is very misleading and discouraging. Since no one wanted to comply and take responsibility I will be escalating this to the BBB as this is not my fault and I should had been able to start in the promised time given and should have been educated properly.Tearra McCray

The worst university ever! They made me waste my time and my money from the first day, every time I communicated with them each counselor told me something different, and more than a month passed and I did not have an accurate answer on the status of my application, after a month a person from human resources let me know that I had to do my transcripts equivalency again on another website because the one I had already sent twice to them waiting for they review it (and that they themselves told me it was okay to do it that way) was not valid for them to take me into account to start the course this past October. 1- First time the transcripts were not encrypted, so they asked my to ask the institution they send it again but encrypted this time and I did it and sent it again. And after that they let me know that didn’t work for them. So I wasted my time, my money and above all the opportunity to start on the desired date. A very bad job of the staff. Very bad communication with the students who want to start there, and they also contradict each other. They all say different things and waste your time. They are also very rude. I hope that no one has this bad experience, nor misses the opportunity to start the course on the date they planned, and due to the horrible work of other people you lose opportunities in life.Claudia Espinosa

From the beginning of my Master's level school search, Capella stood out. I had a great recommendation from a friend already, but in researching complete online programs to work with my schedule, Capella checked all of the boxes I needed. I had a wonderful experience with my admissions counselor and continue to have great interactions with all communication. I am happy with all faculty thus far and feel that I am learning exactly what I need for my future as a school counselor. The course load is what I expected it to be and the time I spend on classwork is time well spent. I feel very confident that I will be prepared to enter the field of school counseling when I graduate. The very first thing Capella does once you are enrolled is to start you in a class to help navigate your program and get you familiar with the online format. This helped immensely and calmed my nerves for entering into a graduate program online. I feel very well cared for and have not had a negative experience yet! I am 1 year into my program.Jenna Skophammer

I have been with Rasmussen for as long as I know. Haha! But with my experience there, it is so amazing! It has been a roller coaster! But on the good end, all the instructors and my advisor are so helpful when it comes to, in need of help and learning or even if it just a question. I am a mother of 5 kids I just recently had my newborn last year in Nov, 2020. I know that with all my kids and also a full time worker including part time going to school at Rasmussen, it was very hard and complicated! Sometimes I wonder how do I deal with all these crazy stuff but on the side note, I am also glad I did it because I want to show all my kids everything is POSSIBLE if you work hard for it. And I also want to show my kids a good role model of how important school. I just graduated with my AA degree in Human Resource and I am planning on going for my bachelors degree and continuing my education. There are few times where sometimes I want to give up because with 5 kids like me it is super frustrating and especially with the pandemic going on too, it’s really hard. If anyone could see what I have to dealt with, you wouldn’t want to be in it. But while attend college at Rasmussen, my advisor has always been the greatest at contacting me and making sure I don’t fall on any of my courses even though I did failed a few times to where to the point I can’t even or might not even get help with financial aid anymore and have to pay out of pocket. My advisor have been there to help guide me through it all and making sure I don’t attempt to just walk out because I sure was about to give up. Because it was just that hard for me. I have a lot to say but I will just leave it here. I do hope I can encourage some of you or anyone out there, because when you think you won’t make it, you will if you just keep pushing yourself. I honestly didn’t think I will. I did changed my major a few times too. So, it kind of took me awhile to get to where I am at now. But if you stick to one major, I’m sure you’ll be fine and won’t be at Rasmussen long like me. Rasmussen a great school with a lot help around if you just ask. I’m glad I attended Rasmussen college. Because without all the help I need, I wouldn’t be here now with my degree. And remember, anything is POSSIBLE if you make it possible! 🙂Pang Der Vang

I have nothing but the upmost gracious things to say about the Rasmussen Woodbury campus in MN. Time and time again they have expressed their care for their students no matter if it is students’ questions or helping you on your way to become a successful graduate. I had entered into Rasmussen a cancer diagnosis patient. I had concerns, worries and not to mention I needed some extra help because of chemo fog. Collette my advisor has been so helpful. She might not always have been at the phone 24/7 but she has always tried to get back to me. She has helped me rearrange my schedules when I needed it and always tried to help me answer any questions I had about my courses. This Rasmussen campus has made me feel almost like family. They not only want to make sure that your courses are going well but they really like to make sure everything in your life is going well too. They really care about their students on and off campus. They have always showed great flexibility too. I first enrolled full time but after realizing with treatments and everything else going on I could only manage 6 credits at a time in order to learn effectively. They were very accommodating and helped me rearrange my schedule around to help fit my needs. Teachers here are also very accommodating. If you have issues going on and explain to them about troubles they are more than willing to work with you on things, and try to help you out to make sure you are getting the best education experience possible. I have had nothing but pleasant experiences here and highly recommend this campus to anyone who is looking for a learning experience with faculty members who care deeply and want a flexible plan that can fit around your busy schedule. It does take time to adjust to online learning but if you can get the hang of it then there is no other place like Rasmussen.Crystal Peavey

I would recommend Rasmussen, it is a wonderful learning environment! The classes can be challenging at times, however, if your time is managed it is doable. The advisers are very accommodating and wonderful to talk to. Everyone at Rasmussen wants you to succeed and will work with you to obtain your goals. I was able to obtain my bachelor's in ECE , while working full-time, and raising my children. I was able to go on vacation and extend my summer break to accommodate my life and family balance. They also offer classes where you work at your own pace and you pay only a fraction of the cost instead of full tuition. They also offer discounts regarding tuition, such as a military discount. The campus has computers you can use and a quiet environment if you need. Rasmussen offers several different programs. The enrollment process is super easy and they will walk you step by step to setup your online class room and account. The student loan process can be difficult and frustrating at times, but your financial advisor will answer any questions or concerns within a week. There one thing I was not impressed with was the billing. My account would state I had a zero balance, then two days later I would have a balance with an over due notice because they would put a date on the balance owed that was three weeks prior. Again I would recommend Rasmussen to working individuals who want to further their career paths. However, watch your financial account closely and keep in close contact with your financial advisor.Megan Anderson

I went to this Community College back in the Mid-2000s. When I first started, I scored very low on the English/Math/Comprehension Reading so I had to start with the prerequisite course before I could entered the college level courses. After a year and a half, I struggled with the academic (English/Math/Comprehension Reading) and all the teachers I had at that time would just advise me to go to the computer lab/learning room for help and never did help me improve on a one-on-one basic. I felt like I was never appreciated in those classes. At that current time, D2L was starting in place so portion of the classes' discussion/homework were online. I still remember other students never helping me and always correcting or making fun of my errors in writing. There was a teacher's conference one-on-one meeting with every student and I still remembered it until this day. The last words from that teacher was, " With how you are doing in this class, you will not make it and I would have to fail you." I dropped out of Century College soon after and owed a couple thousand dollars in debt. Long story short: Then I decided to transferred to InverHills Community College (IHCC) and that was where the difference came in. The feeling and care for the students were so different. Teachers' there at InverHills Community College were able to help and assist me to improve my academic issues that I had. I still remember a teacher staying 30 minutes-45 minutes later after class just to help me everytime. I graduated at IHCC with my associate's degree then proceed onwards to finishing my Double Major Bachelor's Degree at MetroState University.John Bradley

Apathetic faculty providing misinformation at an obvious cash grab. The counselors are useless and ended up providing me with false information that delayed my education while also costing me thousands of dollars. They absolutely refused to take any responsibility and side-stepped my inquiries every single time. While I did have some excellent instructors, it was always a toss up what type of instructor I would get. Four times out of five I ended up with an instructor who either didn't care about the class they were teaching or just plain didn't have the aptitude to teach the class. Most times I ended up teaching my courses to myself. There really seems to be no standard of education that the faculty strives for. I would not recommend anyone to attend this college. Before I get a response from anyone at Century I'll make it known that I have no interest in filling out any sort of suggestion card or survey. If you really want to discuss the issues presented in my review provide me with a telephone number that I can call to set up an appointment in-person.Matt

Enroll here. I'm highly satisfied with my experience at Century College as a student. The post-secondary education community here has gone beyond my expectations to support my continued education as a transfer student. I'm thankful for the experienced instructors, who have given me a wealth of knowledge here. The support staff are excellent, including TLC, Writing Center, Math Center, Advising, Counseling, Information Technologists, and Librarians. They connect students with excellent resources outside of the classroom. The resources available here are comparable to any private institution, and cost per credit is the most affordable on the market.Louise Brask

it seems like a good place by how it looks on the inside and out, so I don't question its legitimacy. But the way communication is done is very iffy. It doesn't make me wonder if anything is dubious is going on, but it's very blatantly disorganized. they're not good at getting back to emails and phone calls, and I went in to talk to someone in person and even that was disorganized. the community speaks very highly of it, so I'm still going to give it a shot with the classes, but I am very skeptical of how this is going to go. Edit: they scheduled a class on veterans day causing people to miss a day into training and certifications because of that day. veterans day isn't new, and I feel it was a very negligent for them to not plan that out better. They also don't keep up with their website, flyers, and updates. This is all really poor communication, on their end. Edit 2: the facility has Wi-Fi, but it has a password and it's very weak.Papyrus Apollo

They don't even care to give a call to let you know building is closed when in fact exam is scheduled and after taking off time from work when i arrive its closed. and when i call them they were so careless and the lady who picked the phone try to tell me pearson due should have notified you and should have known we are closed … she says the person who can help you not working this week and call next week ? is this customer service ? I paid 330 dollar to take the exam and they just let you hang in there with no notice ? Just worst customer service!!!Zinet Abdella

I was pulling up to check out the school and meet a cousin who lived close by I was told I didn’t belong and to leave had the cops called and because I don’t have to explain to a rude human who accused me of committing crimes I am very pregnant I get they have a lot of drug addiction issues due to the camp by the light rail but the disrespect and the fact I was attacked by a employee was what drove me away I will never attend this programHailey Thomas

Rasmussen does not care about anything but $. By far the biggest scam in education. You may want to save the heart ache and get divorced before your spouse attends this college. They purposefully change your schedule the night before classes or nursing clinicals start. It has happened nearly every quarter in the last 4 years. For example, today my wife had the first class of the new quarter in the morning. She had a four hour break in which She stayed in Mankato instead of driving 45 minutes home only to find out that the instructor wasn’t even coming in for the first day. The dean informed the class 20 minutes after it was supposed to start. The dean informed the students that she knew the entire time that the instructor wouldn’t be there because the instructor wasn’t even official hired yet. Zero Communication. Intentional schedule changes at last minute. The most unorganized s*** show I have ever had the misery of being associated with. The worst part of all is our kids suffer because the school is such an unorganized mess. By year 2 they will do everything to try to screw you. Im not Over exaggerating. It is miserable if you have a spouse that works and kids. It’s been an absolute nightmare.T “T-shot” S

I absolutely LOVE this school! Going back to school is something I thought about for quite some time but it never seemed to be the right time and it made me more nervous. I felt that being 27 and having young children, I just couldn't make it work. I made the excuse of being too old or not enough time. However, the thought constantly crossed my mind. I've been doing distance learning with my girls now since the beginning of the year and finally decided now was the time, it felt right. I looked into a couple different online school's and eventually chose Rasmussen. BEST CHOICE EVER! I absolutely LOVE this school. The way the classes are set up work so perfectly with my life and the amount of support is incredible. I never feel uncomfortable or as if I'm failing in any type of way if I were to need assistance. If you're thinking about going to school and have been holding back, I strongly suggest Rasmussen, you will not be disappointed!Ashley Gilb

Want a college that wants to see you fail? Go to Rasmussen. They rave about how flexible they are, but will continue to change your schedule every quarter the week of classes starting. Makes employers just as upset as you are. Counselors and Dean are slow at responding. Clinicals are a joke. 2 quarters at a nursing home following a CNA. I don’t feel prepared at all to be a nurse because I’ve had ZERO hospital setting clinicals. Super expensive. 5-6k a quarter, with the risk of losing your job because you have to call out due to schedule changes. The instructors are the only good thing that came out of this school. I chose this school because I could finish the ADN almost a year faster than at any other school, but wish I would have sucked it up and finished a year later at a different school. It would have saved me tons of money, less stress, and I would actually be prepared for the real nursing world.Google User

I wasn’t sure what to think about Rasmussen because I’ve heard mixed reviews from my coworkers. I was pleasantly surprised to find out this is the college to go to school if you’re a parent wanting to be a nurse. I am married and have three kids under 8 years old and I work in the hospital full time, and I’m succeeding. From my fellow coworkers, I KNOW this is the fastest program to get your nursing degree. I love my professors. I absolutely love the diversity of my professors and fellow students. I know that some have complained about the professors intelligence level. My professors are all very educated. Sometimes if English isn’t the first language, anybody would speak a little slower. This gives you an education you wouldn’t get anywhere else because you’re learning from people who are different than you but usually more intelligent as they had to work harder to get their degree because English was not their first language! Or at least equally as intelligent. People also on occasion complain about the price. I have done the math and at the speed I’m completing my degree, I will have saved more because I’ll have the degree at least a year prior to my fellow coworkers going to more affordable schools I also had Sara Packard as my advisor and she was phenomenal. She almost always replied back to my emails within an hour, and I asked A LOT of questions. Without Sara, I would have never been able to start up as quickly as possible without her quick start worksheet list of things I needed to complete. Thank you so much Rasmussen!Amber Broring

This is my second week at Rasmussen. It is challenging, but no school is easy. So far, the best thing I have encountered at this school is the support that the school incorporates together to help the students. My admission went well because I got a lot of help from my admission advisor, Brittany. She kept me alert and on track throughout the entire process. I strongly agree to listen to her advice if you plan to get your admission process completed on time. Another thing I'm pleased to have is Personal Support Center. Just like Brittany and the admission process, I got all my technical issues solved through Personal Support. Both of these two parties are well-hired for the job. You will like the support team here if you go to this school. Supports and admission definitely earn 5 stars.k yang

DO. NOT. GO. HERE. If I could give this school zero stars I would. The nursing administration and program is a joke. All they care about is swindling you out of money. They intentionally kept me from being able to retake an exam so I would have to retake a course again. Visit the BBB website and read for your self, the aren’t accredited by the BBB and they literally have a 1.19 rating out of 5 and after reading the filed complaints from other previous students it’s easy to see why. There are multiple classes that 40% of your grade is dependent on ATI exams, not the course content, so you can literally pass the class portion but still fail the course due to ATI. It’s a joke.Jaime H

I was a little skeptical going in at first for a REALLY bad cough/sore throat I've had for nearly a month because it wasn't a traditional doctors office with no doctor. I made the appointment because I wanted to be seen by a female and at my other clinic there were no openings for a while with a female doctor. Michelle was my nurse practitioner, and she was wonderful! She took the time to listen to my needs, and was ultra responsive to all of my needs-including my economic needs of not spending much on health care. She was very thorough in her assessment and clearly outlined all that I need to do to recover from this cold from hell. I followed her advice and by the next day I was 90% recovered! It's the first time in about a month I have no more sore throat of cough. I would highly recommend this clinic because I found the staff to be very caring and responsive . I'm so happy to feel better and despite research I did on my own prior to my visit, I would not have been able to cure myself with out Michelle's helpful knowledge.Jane Marshall

My husband had one of the most thorough and conscientious exams he has ever had. The Nurse Practitioner and her nurse attendant also took the time to help us understand in plain English what they were doing, what the result was, and what needed to be done after the visit. This level of good communication is rather rare in clinic visits; both practitioners were very pleasant. They took the time. I highly recommend this clinic.Amy Sheldon

Care was great! However when the bill came in the mail my jaw literally dropped. $441 for ONE visit?! No diagnostic imaging, lab work, consults, etc. All I did was talk with the nurse and receive an antibiotic. Even with insurance I ended up paying well over $200. Definitely will not be returning.Amanda Johnson

The class was great! The online portions were very easy to navigate and understand. The in person skills days were very beneficial and I learned a lot!Christine Orozco

The instructors were very informative and helpful with any questions that people had. They gave you time to study and practice the skills.Melissa Maurer

I began my journey at Rasmussen College, which is now Rasmussen University at 56 years of age. This experience has taught me that age does not matter once you put heart soul into what you want to do and accomplish in life. I have had the pleasure interacting with some awesome instructors who pushed me in reaching outside the box, and Ms. Fey is one of those instructors who not only pushed but gave me feedback on my assignments that at first caused me to feel as though I was not doing a decent job, but she said something to me that I will never forget and that was, "it is not all about the grade but what I gain in the knowledge of learning the material and succeed in my future endeavors. I would also like to show my appreciation to my advisor Mr. Mike Holdfelt for being there for any questions or concerns that I had throughout my journey here at Rasmussen University. My highest thanks go to God, who gave me the strength and courage through scriptures and prayer, such as "Do not fear for I am with you" God's strength is made perfect in my weakness. Cannot be happier in knowing that I will be graduating with an Associate's degree in Health Science/Healthcare Medical Administrative Assistant in October.Catherine Mechchate

I joined Rasmussen University in 2019 for an accelerated program in Healthcare Administration. At that time, my Admissions Advisor, Ashleigh Voigtschild, guided me through the program requirements and explained the courses and enrollment process in detail. I was able to transfer all the classes I took from my previous educational institute. Further, I was connected with the Advising Manager for this campus, Michael Hofeldt, who was also my Academic Advisor. He helped me tremendously with any questions and concerns I had. Everyone I interacted with has been nothing but communicative, professional, and helpful. The professors, online tutoring services, Rasmussen's online library, and other helpful tools and resources embedded in the system, along with my hard work, helped me excel in the program. I would recommend this institute to anyone who is serious about changing their lives and stepping into the professional world.Hajira Siddiqui

MUST READ IF YOU ARE GOING TO SCHOOL FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION***** I enrolled for Early Childhood Education. The professors are trash. None are on the same page, despite the fact they are supposed to follow the same rubric standards. They are not helpful, and treat you like you’re the problem despite when you have evidence they were the ones in the wrong. The summer classes were just repeating the same exact information and it felt like a waste of time like you were not being taught anything. I sent an email to my student advisor to let her know I disenroll effective immediately and Melanie never even bothered to email or call to ask what the problem was or to see why. I feel like I was scammed. Do not go to this school, completely disorganized and a disgrace. Also if you want to open a home daycare you do not need a degree! You just contact your county social service worker to get set up!Darien Menyaoui
