Tribal colleges are colleges throughout the United States which are owned and operated by federally recognized Indian tribes. They are typically on or near reservations. As of 2018, there were 32 accredited Tribal Colleges in the country.These colleges provide an education tailored to Native students living on reservations. They are a relatively new phenomenon; most have opened in the past 50 years. And despite the fact that they are designed for Native students, technically anyone can attend a Tribal College.
