Nine associate of arts, six associate of science, and ten associate of applied science degrees are offered by a well prepared and expert faculty.

The courses of study offered are directed to the economic and job opportunities in the Fort Peck Reservation area.

PHILOSOPHY
To meet the unique educational needs of Indian people, Fort Peck Community College believes that the opportunity for higher education must be provided on the reservation. Since many of the people choose not to leave their homeland, it is necessary that education be brought to them. FPCC is committed to preserving Indian culture, history, and beliefs, and to perpetuating them among the Indian people of all ages. FPCC promotes self-awareness through education necessary to build a career, a lifestyle, and to achieve a true sense of self-pride. Although FPCC does not deny anyone the opportunity for higher education, the institution’s primary purpose is to serve the American Indian population of the Fort Peck Reservation.

Focus and mission

The college's stated focus area is service to the local indigenous community, in part by making higher education accessible on the reservation itself, stating:

FPCC is committed to preserving Indian culture, history, and beliefs, and to perpetuating them among the Indian people of all ages. FPCC promotes self-awareness through education necessary to build a career, a lifestyle, and to achieve a true sense of self-pride. Although FPCC does not deny anyone the opportunity for higher education, the institution’s primary purpose is to serve the American Indian population of the Fort Peck Reservation.

This mission also includes providing occupational training that is customized to the kinds of employment available regionally, in view of the college's experience that many living on the reservation choose to remain in the area.

Programs

Fort Peck Community College has developed a variety of academic and vocational programs for local residents and businesses. In addition to 25 associate's degree programs, several vocational certificate programs are offered.
