American National University, formerly National Business College, is a private for-profit university with multiple campuses in the United States, including Tennessee, Virginia, and Kentucky. The American National University brand is made up of two institutions. The Virginia institution is the original with history dating back to 1886, when the Kentucky institution joined in 1999. Each institution holds their own accreditation from different accrediting bodies. They both share the same mission: to provide opportunities for individuals who are seeking to achieve their career goals by offering credential and degree programs through distance education and blended learning.
