Bay Mills Community College
Bay Mills Community College School Description
As a tribally controlled community college and land grant institution, the mission of Bay Mills Community College is to provide quality educational opportunities, promote research, and facilitate individual development in an accessible, community-based, and culturally diverse environment that supports and maintains the Anishinaabek culture and language.
The college began as a vocational program in response to the economic development needs of seven Native American communities which were initially served by the program funded in 1981 by Department of Education. In 1984 the college was chartered by the Bay Mills Indian Community under the Tribally Controlled Community Colleges Act. Since its establishment in 1981 with an enrollment of eleven students, the college has grown to currently serve over seven hundred students on campus, off campus sites, and through its virtual campus, each year.
First and foremost, we support our students and don't feel that we have succeeded unless they reach their goals. We do this through tutoring, counseling, and trips to round out the college experience, all at a very reasonable cost because our mission is to improve our communities by educating the citizens, thereby creating new opportunities.
BMCC has been working with all of the federally recognized tribes of the state with the goal of setting up academic programs. Although the college specializes in programs for American Indians, who represent approximately 60% of the annual student enrollment, its doors are open to all people who want to benefit from the educational process. BMCC is dedicated to providing academic and personal enrichment programs to Native Americans and residents of their neighboring communities.
In recent years, BMCC has developed an impressive, cutting edge technological infrastructure; which has allowed BMCC to reach beyond the borders of Michigan and offer on-line instruction throughout North America.
Bay Mills Community College offers associate degree programs in applied science, arts, and science that include construction technology, computer information, Ojibway language and culture, corrections, teacher education, business administration, and health and fitness.
Bay Mills Community College (BMCC) is situated on the southeastern shore of Lake Superior, on the Bay Mills Indian Reservation, which is located in Michigan's Eastern Upper Peninsula. The Bay Mills Indian Community (BMIC) is five miles northwest of Brimley, Michigan and twenty miles west of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.
