At the same time, the number of Native American students attending Tribal colleges and universities has been increasing. At the start of the new year, WGU Washington announced a first-of-its-kind partnership with Northwest Indian College (NWIC). As a result, there is a great need in higher education to bring learning options to Tribal students so they can stay within their communities. NWIC is the only regional Tribal college in the U.S. and the only accredited Tribal college in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Our universities working together will ensure that the needs of Native American students are better served and that they have equitable access to higher education.
