A cornerstone of higher education-
Since its beginnings in 1941, National American University has been a cornerstone of higher education, keeping pace with the ever-changing advancements of technology, while holding onto core values that provide a caring and supportive environment for all students.

Personal development-
National American University is also about personal development. While you’re here you’ll have time to take a look at who you are, who you want to be and how you’re going to get there. True, you’ll be a different person when you leave National American University - and you’ll be pleased with the change. It’s not just a promise; it’s a commitment from a private career college that has been educating students for more than half a century.

Traditional campus life-
The Rapid City, SD, location offers a blend of educational opportunities ranging from the more traditional campus life that includes dormitories, athletic programs and other student activities, to the working adult model that offers the speed of accelerated programs, and the convenience of evening, weekend and online classes.

Working adult model campuses-
NAU has 11 other campus locations throughout South Dakota, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico, all of which are primarily the working adult model, though in today's changing business environment, younger students are becoming more and more interested in this type of campus.

Online Campus-
