I was unsure about changing my career and taking out more financial aid to pay back. I was excited to come back to school but very nervous. After the first 3 days of my first MOD, I was extremely confident that this is what I wanted. Mrs. Bishoff has made learning so exciting and fun. I really wish I could give her a higher marking. She deserves it. She is by far the best instructor/teacher that I have ever had in all my years of going to school.

Kelsey Russell Graduate Medical Insurance Billing and Office Administration student at Saginaw, MI campus Graduation: May 7, 2019
I am so thankful for all of the staff at Ross, they really prepared me for my career in every way possible. Because of them, I got the education I needed, I got help with finding a job and getting hired after graduation, assistance with my financial aid, and all of the staff was always there to answer any questions I had, plus anything I needed after graduation to help with obtaining my license. I had great Instructors, great Career Service Representatives, a great Financial Aid Representative, and a great Campus Director and Assistant Campus Director of Education! Thank you Ross Medical Education Center for helping make my dream job a reality!
Cassandra Venuk Graduate Dental Assistant student at Knoxville, TN campus Graduation: September 13, 2019
I will forever be grateful for the knowledge and guidance I received at Ross. I came to a point in my life where I had to do something better for myself. I wanted a career, not just a job. The staff was amazing when it came to helping me choose what program to study. In less than a year, I graduated with a certificate in Medical Assisting. I decided to further my education and went on to attend Ross College online, where I graduated with an Associate's Degree in Medical Assisting. I now have an amazing job, giving me the peace of mind any single parent desires, which is knowing I can provide for my child.
