What are the graduation rates for students at National American University-Rapid City?

The IPEDS 2024-25 figures reported for National American University-Rapid City show a 0% overall graduation rate for the measured cohort and a 33% student retention rate. The reported four-year and six-year graduation rates are also 0% for their respective measured groups.

These figures require care. Federal graduation-rate measures follow defined cohorts - often first-time, full-time students - rather than every adult learner, part-time student, or transfer student. Earlier reported results differed substantially, so the latest percentage should not be read as a prediction that an individual student cannot graduate. Ask for completion and persistence results for students in your program and enrollment category, along with the number of students underlying each rate.
