About

Located on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in northeast Montana, Fort Peck Community College serves the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux people of the Fort Peck Reservation and surrounding communities. The college was established in 1978, following the 1977 creation of the Fort Peck Tribal Education Department. Previously, the reservation's need for college-level education was met by an agreement between the Tribal Executive Board and the nearby Miles Community College, which brought classes to the reservation.

Of the nine members who make up the FPCC Board of Directors, at least seven are required to be enrolled members of the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes. The college was accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, Commission on Colleges in December 1991, and received Land Grant status in 1994. Fort Peck Community College reaches a greater number of students through operations at two campuses: the main Popular capus and the more recently opened Wolf Point campus, 22 miles west.

Fort Peck Community College offers associate degrees (Automotive Technology, Biomedical Science, Building Trades, Business Administration, Business Technology, Chemical Addiction Studies, Computer Technology, Early Childhood Education, Education, Environmental Science, General Studies, Human Services, Native American Studies, Pre-Health/Pre-Nursing, Psychology) and certificates (Accounting Technician, Automotive Technician, Building Trades, Business Assistant, Desktop Support Technician, Electrical Line Worker, Graphic Web Design, Heavy Equipment Operator, Truck Driving, Welding Technician).
