United Tribes Technical College is a tribal college—one of the nation's network of institutions founded by and for Native American communities. Located in suburban Bismarck, UTTC focuses on practical, career-ready education with a strong commitment to serving Indigenous students and preserving tribal cultures and values alongside modern workforce skills.
The college enrolls 542 students and keeps costs remarkably low. Tuition runs $4,252 per year whether you're from North Dakota or out of state, and with room and board included, your total cost of attendance is $14,890 annually. That affordability is a real draw for students who might otherwise struggle to pay for college.
About one in three students graduate within six years, which is lower than many four-year colleges but reflects the real challenges tribal college students often face—many work while studying, support families, or are first-generation college students navigating higher education for the first time. UTTC is best suited for students seeking affordable, accessible education with cultural grounding and direct pathways into careers in trades, healthcare, business, and other fields.
