On [DATE], American Public University System combined with Rasmussen University and Hondros College of Nursing to form a single higher education institution. American Public University System (System) now includes American Public University, American Military University, Rasmussen University, and Hondros College of Nursing. The System is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Public Education, Inc. (APEI). We are continuing to update our website to reflect our new structure.

Certification Exam Pass Rates:
ASCP BOC Certification Pass Rates are representative of Rasmussen University Medical Laboratory Technician program graduates over the last three active years, which includes graduates between 7/1/2022 and 6/30/2023, 7/1/2023 and 6/30/2024, and 7/1/2024 and 6/30/2025 who attempted and passed the BOC exam within one year of graduating. This rate is calculated by dividing the number of graduates who passed the BOC exam within one year of graduating by the number of graduates who sat for the BOC exam within one year of graduating. This rate excludes graduates who were eligible to take the exam but did not sit for the exam. This rate is reflective of data from 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025.
NAACLS Benchmark: At least 75% pass rate on ASCP-BOC exam. - 2a
Placement Rates:
Placement rates are representative of Rasmussen University Medical Laboratory Technician program graduates over the last three active years, which includes graduates between 7/1/2022 and 6/30/2023, 7/1/2023 and 6/30/2024, and 7/1/2024 and 6/30/2025. Data comes from responding graduates who self-reported to have found employment in the field, in a closely related field, and/or continued their education within one year of graduation; the number is then divided by the total number of responding graduates. This rate does not specify that each graduate was placed by Rasmussen University in their current position. Some graduates find jobs on their own while others maintain previously held employment. This rate is reflective of data from 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025.
NAACLS Benchmark: At least 70% placement (employment in-field or continuing their education) within 12 months of graduation. - 3a
Graduation Rates:
Graduation rates are calculated by first determining the sum number of students who began the final half of the program and subsequently graduated. This sum of graduates is then divided by the difference between the sum of students who began the final half of the program and were slated to graduate within their respective timeframes (i.e. between 7/1/2022 and 6/30/2023, 7/1/2023 and 6/30/2024, or 7/1/2024 and 6/30/2025), and the sum of students currently enrolled and slated to graduate between the same periods as reported at the end of the period. Final half of the program is defined as completing half the total time to degree completion based on a student’s individual circumstances, including course load per quarter, transfer-of-credit award, and other factors that may affect an estimated graduation date. For most students, the final half of the program begins in the fifth quarter of enrollment.
NAACLS Benchmark: At least 70% graduation rate.
