Tribal Colleges and Universities Serve Indigenous Students

You’ve heard of HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), but do you know about TCUs? Tribal Colleges and Universities were established by Native Americans to not only educate themselves but to preserve native culture, languages, and traditions. The first and largest TCU, Navajo Community College (now Diné College), was founded by the Navajo tribe in 1968. Today, there are 35 accredited TCUs in the United States and all have open admission policies. Fourteen of these institutions offer accredited bachelor's degree programs; five, master's degree programs; 35, associate degrees; and 29, certificate programs.
