About

In 1998, the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan Tribal Council granted Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College a charter to operate. In its more than twenty years of operations, the school has supported tribal member students on their paths toward higher education within the Mount Pleasant community, Isabella Reservation, and Saganing Reservation. By emphasizing Anishinaabe history and culture, students emerge professionally prepared and culturally strong. The Tribal College gained accredation in 2007, and has continued to expand its space. Today, students draw on the ​Aandjikinigan (Ojibwa Language Area as one of the distinguished offerings of the school.​

Students can take courses as part of a two-year program to receive an Associate of Arts degree in Science, Liberal Arts, Business, and Native American studies. ​Many students then transfer to BA degree programs nearby.
