National American University moves to Texas
National American University moves to Texas
Written by Tiffany Young Friday, 27 June 2008
National American University, a privately owned school, opened its first location in Texas last summer in a temporary building and moved into a permanent location at 13801 N. MoPac, Ste. 300, off MoPac and Wells Branch, in March.
In its third quarter, NAU has about 30 students and expects to double in size this fall. The typical student at NAU is a nontraditional adult, with an average age of about 35, looking to get a degree for further advancement in their career or to change careers altogether.
NAU offers bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business and information technology fields and has an online campus that offers full degree programs. Students can choose to take as many courses online or in the classroom as they want for their degree programs. Applied management is the most popular degree program.
“We intentionally stay small with our new locations, so we remain personal — students aren’t just a faceless number,” said JP Foley, Southwest regional vice president of National American University. “They choose to come and stay because they appreciate the way they are treated. Here it’s not only the instructor, but also the staff, that knows you by name.”
Much of the staff works as adjunct professors, meaning they still work in the field they teach, while instructing part-time, to bring real life experience to the classroom.

NAU’s offerings:
- No out-of-state tuition
- Uses past college credits toward degree plans
- Caters to work schedules
