Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) meet the higher education needs of Native Americans and generally serve geographically isolated populations with no other access to education beyond the high school level. Tribal colleges are located on or near Indian reservations and provide post-secondary education, accredited degrees, and vocational training for Indian and non-Indian students.
