Tribal College and University Programs

Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) are higher education institutions primarily serving Native American students and communities. Established to preserve indigenous culture and provide accessible education, TCUs offer a range of programs, including vocational training, associate's degrees, and bachelor's degrees. They focus on culturally relevant curricula and community engagement, often emphasizing the importance of tribal sovereignty and identity. Funded by both federal and state sources, TCUs play a crucial role in empowering Native American communities through educational and economic development, fostering leadership and connectivity among tribal members.
