The college is affiliated with American Indian Higher Education Consortium and the National Association of Land Grant Institutions. WETCC is a member of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC), which is a community of tribally- and federally-chartered institutions working to strengthen tribal nations and make a lasting difference in the lives of American Indians and Alaska Natives. WETCC was created in response to the higher education needs of American Indians. WETCC generally serves geographically isolated populations that have no other means accessing education beyond the high school level. [4]
