He was Vice President of Marketing for both Capella University and Rasmussen College, and he was part of the team that launched Collegis Education.

During summer breaks from teaching, Frank provided Collegis with consulting services in marketing and professional development.

Patrick Branham has 18 years of experience in higher ed, with ten years as a chief financial officer for Rasmussen College. Says Branham: “I received my first MBA from the University of Chicago, my ‘second’ from working on more than 100 merger and acquisition transactions over a period of five years, and my ‘third’ from growing a Midwestern college from five campuses to 26 and increasing revenue from less than $20 million to over $200 million.” Branham’s passion for higher education stems from having been a first-generation college student and experiencing firsthand how education can transform a person’s life.
