Rasmussen University-North Dakota

What is the cost of studying for a year at Rasmussen University-North Dakota?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Rasmussen University-North Dakota was $12,359 for both in-state and out-of-state students. Required fees were reported at $2,045, bringing those two published charges to $14,404 before living costs, books or other expenses.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $12,359.
• Required fees, 2024-25: $2,045.
• Reported part-time undergraduate charge: $347 per credit hour.

Those amounts are not a complete personal cost of attendance. Students may also need to budget for supplies, transportation and housing, as well as program-specific expenses such as equipment, examinations or clinical requirements. Because Rasmussen does not provide college-operated undergraduate housing at this location, a student's rent and food spending will depend on their own arrangements. Published cost measures may use different enrollment assumptions; figures from different years or definitions should not be added together as though they formed one official bill.

Financial aid can change what a student pays, but grants and loans have different effects. IPEDS reports average grant aid of $5,857 among undergraduate grant recipients and reports that 68% of students received student loans. A grant generally does not have to be repaid, while a loan generally does. Eligible students should complete the FAFSA and review a program-specific aid offer that separates grants from borrowing. They can also ask financial aid staff about federal grants, applicable state assistance, institutional scholarships and military or veteran education benefits. An individual aid offer, not an institutional average, is the appropriate basis for estimating out-of-pocket cost.

What are the work-study opportunities at Rasmussen University-North Dakota?

Rasmussen students can use career services to look for employment, but a part-time job, an internship and Federal Work-Study are not interchangeable. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that provides wages for eligible employment; it is not an automatic cash discount on tuition.

Availability of Federal Work-Study positions for a particular Fargo student should be confirmed in the current financial aid offer and with the aid office. Students seeking ordinary part-time work may also use job-search resources without holding a work-study award. No university-wide internship requirement applies to every student, although individual programs may require practical training.

Reported career-center services include individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job listings, job fairs and employer recruitment. Those services can support a search; they are not evidence that a student will receive an offer. Students looking for experience related to a major should ask whether a position satisfies any program-specific internship or clinical requirement before accepting it.
