Institutional Scope

  • Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College is a unique institution, created by the Minnesota Legislature in 1987 and chartered as a tribal college by the Fond du Lac Reservation that same year.
  • The mission of Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College is to provide higher education opportunities for its communities in a welcoming, culturally diverse environment.
  • Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College offers several advantages to students. The student-to-instructor ratio is about 18 to 1. Students say they are treated as individuals, not numbers, and don’t get lost in the crowd. Classes are offered during day, evening, and weekend hours, making it easy to fit classes into a busy schedule.
  • Enrollment is at an all-time high of more than 2,000 students, but the college is still able to maintain its friendly, comfortable atmosphere.
