Last week, the school began its Spring term under one roof at the new campus, which the organization is calling the Rasmussen University Ocala campus.

The campus features nine new classrooms, a larger, renovated student lounge, new air conditioning systems, 40 new parking spots, and a new radiologic technology and medical assisting lab.

“Our campus consolidation and centralization efforts mark an exciting chapter in our more than 17 years in Ocala as we now, for the first time, have all academic and administrative operations at one location—allowing us to streamline our student support services,” said Pete Beasley, senior campus executive director at the university.

Rasmussen University first began offering its Associate’s Degree in Nursing program in Ocala in 2007.

In addition to its local residential nursing and health sciences programs, the school offers over 30 online programs across business, education, nursing, and other areas of study in Florida, with access to resources and support on campus.
