Rasmussen University Defining a New Generation of Higher Education
By: Bill Panella, Campus Director
Rasmussen University–Green Bay is dedicated to changing lives in the community we serve through innovative and versatile education programs.
Our Green Bay campus was added to the Rasmussen family in 2007 and since then has functioned as a core member of the community, supporting the Service League of Green Bay and securing school supplies for kids in need, as well as being involved in the Greater Green Bay Chamber.
Colleges and universities have shifted into a post-COVID-19 environment that embraces hybrid and online options for learning. Meanwhile, Rasmussen has been a leader in career-focused education since 1900 and is defining a new generation of higher education that focuses on competency-based education (CBE), technology and transferrable skills. With the CBE model, Rasmussen offers faster time to completion in programs with Empowered Learning™ opportunities, as well as giving students the ability to “show what they know.” Students can see what it’s like to work in their field as Rasmussen stays up to date on the latest learning modalities in technology such as simulation centers that allow students to practice skills safely in a controlled environment. This improves students’ confidence, competence, and deductive reasoning skills.
Rasmussen University offers more than 60 career-enriching programs in business, design, education, health sciences, justice studies, nursing, and technology, giving students the chance to complete everything from a Certificate and Diploma to their bachelor’s degree or a graduate-level program. Rasmussen helps students maximize credit transfer while minimizing time to graduation. This helps students receive credit toward general education courses as well as transferring associate degrees or previous credits from other institutions toward an accelerated degree program. We continue to look for ways to make programs more accessible. Students enrolling in Rasmussen’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program in Green Bay can now choose from campus-based or immersion schedule options. In the immersion format, students conduct courses online and have on-campus labs and simulations scheduled one to four weekends per quarter, allowing students to plan and schedule around them.
We look forward to strengthening relationships with existing community partnerships while growing new clinical and employer relationships in Greater Green Bay. In addition, campus spaces remain available for community usage, free of charge.
I invite you to reach out for more information on Rasmussen University–Green Bay, its programs, or ways we can partner together for the benefit of Green Bay students and our community.
