Harold D. Buckingham Graduate School

Finding a graduate program that's right for you can be challenging. Traditional graduate programs can be rigid, forcing you to attend several scheduled lectures per week that may conflict with your job, your family responsibilities, or other commitments.

Life can’t stop for grad school.

At National American University, we realize not everybody’s schedules are the same. We developed our graduate school for the working adult by offering master’s degree programs online. For those in the Rapid City area, our graduate school in South Dakota allows you to enroll in graduate classes on-site at the Rapid City campus (excluding the Master of Science in Nursing program), catering to those of you who like the face-to-face interaction that a campus offers, find your master degree program completely online or a combination of both on-campus and online to complete your degree. These options give you the flexibility to schedule completion of your degree program to best fit your busy lifestyle.

National American University currently offers a Master of Science degree in Nursing, a Master of Business Administration degree, and a Master of Management degree with a variety of emphasis areas. The master's degree programs online are designed to provide you with an innovative curriculum as well as the skills needed for effective leadership and management. In addition to the core program courses, you have the opportunity to select elective courses to fit your individual career needs.

The flexibility and scheduling options of our programs at our graduate school in South Dakota give you the opportunity to earn your master’s degree in as little as 12 months!
