NAU receives continued accreditation

By Journal staff | Sunday, July 13, 2008

A regional higher education panel has extended the accreditation of National American University, the Rapid City-based private school, for another 10 years.

The Higher Learning Commission ruled that NAU's academic programs meet nationally recognized criteria. NAU provost Dr. Samuel Kerr said the process took two years and involved on-site reviews last fall by a team of evaluators.

"Receiving this accreditation is a testament to the high quality of academic programming that NAU offers at both the undergraduate and graduate levels," Kerr said in a news release.

The university has multiple approvals by other national professional and educational associations.

NAU has 17 locations throughout the central U.S., including branches at Ellsworth Air Force Base, Sioux Falls and Watertown. It offers associate, bachelor's and master's degrees, with courses at its campuses and online.

If you don't see your comment, perhaps...

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
