===Establishment===
The school was founded in 1900 as the Rasmussen School of Business by Walter Rasmussen in Saint Paul, Minnesota.[1] Rasmussen believed that the need for skilled professionals by the local business community was not being met.[2] This belief led to the development of the school's vision, which was: 1. To prepare young men and women for responsible positions in all lines of business. 2. To help pupils win their way to a noble manhood or womanhood. The first classes were held in September 1900.[3] With the advent of women's suffrage in 1920 through the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, the school's female enrollment numbers began to increase.[4] In 1945, Walter Rasmussen retired and sold his interest in the school to Walter Nemitz. Nemitz instituted a number of curriculum changes, requiring students to learn to use calculating machines, adding machines, and duplicating machines. Additionally, he mandated that the school's facilities be updated, which included installing fluorescent lighting in all buildings and purchasing 100 typewriters for students to use. Nemitz had been with the school since 1934, as both a teacher and an assistant principal. Under Nemitz's new leadership, Rasmussen College underwent a number of upgrades. By 1950, the college's 50-year anniversary, Rasmussen had graduated more than 22,400 students. By 1960, Rasmussen students were not only graduating to become secretaries, stenographers, typists, accountants, bookkeepers, and clerks, but also machine operators and salespersons.
Expansion and Growth
In 1961, Wilbur Nemitz and Robert Nemitz, both sons of Walter Nemitz, took ownership of the school. In 1974, Rasmussen College acquired the St. Cloud Business College, and in 1979, it acquired the Northern Technical School of Business. In 1983, the school opened a campus in Mankato, MN. The opening of this campus would mark a shift from acquiring schools as a means of expansion to growth through internal expansion. Additional campuses were subsequently opened in Eagan, MN (1989), St. Cloud, MN (1997), Rockford, IL (2006), Lake Elmo, MN, Eden Prairie, MN, and Green Bay, WI (all 2007), as well as Wausau, Wisconsin (2010).[5] The school also opened an online campus in 2002.[6] Additionally, the school acquired Aakers College in North Dakota and Webster College in Florida and began to merge the schools into the Rasmussen College operations.[7][8][9]
Recent History
As part of the Rasmussen College 110th anniversary, 110 scholarships were offered to new students. The scholarship value varies depending on the degree level selected by the potential student. A Bachelor's degree-seeking student is eligible for up to $10,000 and an Associate's degree-seeking student is eligible for up to $5,000.scholarship Presently, the school has more than 100,000 graduates.

Responses to proposed edit
It is understandable that Rasmussen College would want the article to include this material. But the article does not exist for the purposes of marketing on behalf of Rasmussen College, and that is clearly what is intended with this edit (not to mention the participation of Warrenpd on this page). If you want to edit Wikipedia, I suggest learning about Wikipedia: particularly WP:SELFPUB as well as the basics, WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:NPOV. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 16:24, 30 June 2010 (UTThis
This material is informative in nature and no different from any other college wiki page. Is Wikipedia not supposed to provide basic information on history, campus locations and program offerings?Warrenpd (talk) 16:44, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
Inaccurate information and source link is dead
Hi. For full transparency, I am associated with Rasmussen College. After reading a little more on how to appropriately use Wikipedia, I feel this is the best way to have an edit made to this page. I apologize for my first edits, as I am unaware of the policies. There is information listed on the page (see below) that is inaccurate and attack-minded in nature.
"In the summer of 2010, Rasmussen College and other for-profit colleges came under scrutiny because they "may not provide adequate training for specific jobs, and high tuition costs may put students into debt for years."[1]"
When I clicked on the citation, the link doesn't bring up an article/is a dead link. I would like to see this removed as it is unverified and inaccurate, and again, attacks the institution.
Can someone help me with this? Specifically those editors who have made and/or reverted changes in the past?
Also, the article says it needs more citations and imagery - anyway I could provide those to you?

I'm a current student at Rasmussen Rockford,IL campus. What the placement advisers call being successful is being placed in a minimum wage job with a associates degree in your hand. Criminal Justice students have no hands on training and are not eligible for internship. In fact Rasmussen discontinued the Criminal Justice AAS degree program for Crime Scene Evidence and Bachelors degree program Crime Scene Investigation. Rasmussen offers job careers in fast food, security guard, and loss prevention for criminal justice students. We pay expensive tuition to obtain a college degree so we can get better jobs and Rasmussen Rockford,IL campus offers jobs no better than what we have. --Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.197.100.210 (talk) 00:10, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
Motto
I'm not sure whether this may help to the "encyclopedicity" of this entry or not, but I badly need to point out that the correct translation from Latin of "Doctrina. Concretio. Successio." is "Science. Concretion (!). Succession.". I read elsewhere that the intended meaning of the college motto would be "Learn. Grow. Succeed.", the translation of which is "Disce. Cresce. Prospera." Vi3x (talk) 17:48, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
