NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF AUTOMOTIVE UNIVERSITIES
The National Association of Automotive Universities (NAAU) is a professional association of baccalaureate level universities that provide 4- year automotive technology and automotive technology management degrees. NAAU members collaborate to advance excellence in education within the automotive and related industries.
The USA has very few baccalaureate level automotive technology programs compared to 2-year associate level automotive technology programs or mechanical engineering programs. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Global University Directory lists less that 1 dozen “Automotive Degree Programs” in the United States that fits under the NAAU mission. NAAU members are the top automotive technology universities in their program areas whose graduates have careers with the major automotive companies in the world. NAAU member school graduates are the future leaders in the automotive industry.
