About

Blackfeet Community College was founded in October 1974 by Executive Action of the Blackfeet Tribal Business Council. This action stemmed from the Council's 10-year plan for the Blackfeet Nation, which included the need for a community college or school in order to increase educational opportunities. This manifested first, in 1976, by offering Flathead Valley Community College courrses on the Blackfeet Reservation, and later resulted in the establishment of a Flathead Valley Community College center on the reservation. In 1980, the tribe established Blackfeet Community College as their own, independent, instution, which gained accredation in 1985. Today, BCC centers Blackfeet culture, language, and values in their educational offerings.

Blackfeet Community College offers associate's degrees (accounting, business management, elementary education, early childhood education, liberal arts, Piikani Studies & Language, nursing/ASN, environmental studies, health science, hydrology technician, pre-engineering, criminal justice legal studies, social work, psychology, behavioral health aid, and addiction studies) and certificates (behavior health aid, Blackfeet legal studies, geographical information systems, hydrology technician aid, early childhood development, agri-bussiness, and records information management.)
