Legal Support Services at Rasmussen University-Wisconsin

Rasmussen-Wisconsin's legal support program lands squarely in the middle nationally but trails the Wisconsin market by a meaningful margin. At $34,421 in first-year earnings, graduates here make about $5,500 less than the state median—ranking in just the 40th percentile among Wisconsin's 14 legal support programs. The Herzing campuses across the state consistently place graduates at $40,000, suggesting this isn't just about Wisconsin's higher cost of living but about program outcomes.

The debt load of $27,876 creates a manageable but not impressive ratio of 0.81—you'd pay back roughly 10 months of earnings. That's reasonable compared to many associate programs, though it's worth noting you're taking on near-median debt for below-median state earnings. The modest 8% earnings growth to $37,112 by year four doesn't dramatically change the calculus.

For families, the question is whether the accessibility matters more than the outcome gap. With 57% of students on Pell grants, this program clearly serves students who need flexible options. But if your child can access one of the Herzing campuses or qualify for Bryant & Stratton, those programs deliver stronger Wisconsin market results. This isn't a poor investment, but it's a middle-of-the-pack choice in a state where stronger options exist at similar price points.
