National American University (NAU) is a private, for-profit university with multiple campuses in the United States. NAU has undergraduate and graduate programs.
National American University offers core academic programs in accounting, applied management, business administration, health care, and information technology.

National American University’s first campus in Rapid City, still located at 321 Kansas City Street, has on-campus housing, a gymnasium, several classroom buildings and a library.
The dormitory, at 121 Kansas City Street, is open year-around and houses a cafeteria-style dining room. Other features include public computers in the commons area and available WiFi access. It is within walking distance of most downtown businesses and has easy access to the cities’ bus routes. Other campus locations (listed below) offer a wide variety of degree programs, but no on-campus housing is available.
NAU’s Rapid City campus was home to two collegiate sports – volleyball and rodeo. The mascot is the Maverick.
The Maverick women won the NAIA National Volleyball Championship in December 2006 at the end of a perfect season — 41-0. It was the second national title in volleyball since the arrival of Coach Todd Lowery in 2002. Lowery was named 2006 NAIA Region III Volleyball Coach of the Year.
NAU’s Maverick rodeo team—both men and women—competed in the Great Plains Region of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association. With the fall season of competition completed, both are in the number one position. Several NIRA champions call NAU Rapid City home.
National American University was established in 1941 as a one-year secretarial school by Clarence Jacobson. It was called National College of Business and was located in a downtown Rapid City building. In 1960, Jacobson had the building that now houses administration for the Rapid City campus constructed at 321 Kansas City Street and moved National College to that location.
