An eight-member peer review team conducted a review of our self-study document and visited the University''s central administration offices in Rapid City, SD, as well as eight other locations throughout the university system. Faculty and staff from across the university system worked diligently to produce an exceptional self-study document outlining our strengths and opportunities for improvement. The University was formally notified on January 30, 2015, by the HLC that National American University has received continued accreditation for 10 years.
"We believe the HLC''s reaffirmation of NAU''s regional accreditation is validation of the quality and integrity of our various academic programs. We will continue to work hard to uphold the standards of regional accreditation and look forward to continuing to help guide our students toward success as they make progress toward their academic and career goals."
