Blackfeet Community College is a community college located on the Blackfeet reservation in Browning, Montana, on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains.[2] The Blackfeet reservation occupies an area of 1,525,712 acres adjacent to Glacier National Park, Lewis and Clark National Forest, and the province of Alberta, Canada.[3]
Campus
The BCC campus is located on the south end of Browning, the trade/service center for the reservation, just off Highways 2 & 89. The campus consists of thirteen buildings, which are used for administration, student services, academic affairs, vocational education departments, classrooms, various programs, and the library.
Partnership
BCC 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. BCC was created in response to the higher education needs of American Indians. BCC generally serves geographically isolated populations that have no other means accessing education beyond the high school level.[3]
