Abstract
We study finite groups with rational valued non-linear characters and obtain the structure of these types of groups with derived subgroup of prime order. In particular, in the case of the size of derived subgroup of a group is two we conclude that this group is rational if and only if the group is a direct product of an extraspecial 2-group with an elementary abelian 2-group.
