National American University – Ellsworth AFB Extension

Overview of National American University - Ellsworth AFB Extension

---

If you look at an online map for National American University, you’ll see that a large area is marked off over the U.S., part of Canada, and Alaska—this indicates that military members everywhere in the US are able to access the university for online degree programs. However, the Ellsworth Airforce Base Extension is close to their headquarters in Rapid City, South Dakota. There are two ways to contact the university: you can call the campus for general information and you can interact via the internet.

There is no physical campus for you to visit, so all of your interactions with NAU staff and faculty will take place online. The NAU-Ellsworth AFB campus serves 199 students, all of whom are working on their undergraduate degrees. However, degrees awarded from this university can range from a certificate of one to less than two years’ duration, associate, and bachelor’s degrees. The student-to-faculty ratio is 10 to 1, which is excellent, but you must remember that, with all classes being online, it may still be difficult to get in touch with a professor as you’ll only have online communication options.

Academics

NAU doesn’t keep track of the student retention rate, primarily because it serves adult students who are working in military roles. Some students may bring transfer credits from other colleges or universities and some students take longer to earn their degrees because they are deployed or for personal reasons, so they also do not measure graduation rates. The retention rate is noted as being 100% in a recent academic year, which means that students who attended for their first year at this school also came back for their sophomore year.

Because you are continuing to work as you take college classes, you are able to schedule study time for non-working hours. However, NAU-Ellsworth AFB does offer evening classes online, so that’s no issue.

The most popular degree programs at NAU-Ellsworth AFB are business, management, marketing and related support services; computer and information sciences, and support services; homeland security, law enforcement, firefighting and related protective services; and transportation and materials moving.
