Save Time and Money

Save time and money on your Associate’s and Bachelor’s degrees with self-directed assessments. These $149 online assessments allow you to prove that you already have the knowledge in a particular course and don’t need to take it.

If you start with our Associate’s degree in Accounting program, you can seamlessly transfer your Accounting Associate’s degree credits into our Bachelor’s degree and prepare for the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exam, which is highly valued by employers.

Accelerated Master’s Pathway

You can take one MBA course as part of your Bachelor’s program—at Bachelor’s tuition rates. That saves time and up to $1,097 on your MBA.

Rasmussen University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (hlcommission.org), an institutional accreditation agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
