Maverick: A Tradition in Being Different

Mavericks are independent thinkers—individuals not afraid to be a little different and stand out from the crowd.  At NAU, we’ve embraced this symbol as an image of the very of nature our students, staff, founders and the university. We came from a unique beginning and continued over the years to hold true to our philosophy that everyone deserves an education. What started as an inspiration to offer specialized business training in South Dakota over 70 years ago has expanded to 37 locations serving thousands of Mavericks across the nation.
