Undergraduate Enrollment at TCUs
In 2016, there were 34 Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs)[1], enrolling 16,677 undergraduate students. Of these, 25 (73.5 percent) were public two-year colleges. American Indian or Alaska Native students represented the majority of undergraduate students enrolled at TCUs, a pattern that held true across sectors. Due to small sample sizes, completion rate data are unavailable for TCUs.
