School Description
Provided by Fort Berthold Community CollegeThe Fort Berthold Community College (FBCC) is tribally chartered by the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation headquarters at New Town, North Dakota. FBCC is tribally controlled by a Board of Directors, which consist of seven-members. The College was founded May 2, 1973, as the agency responsible for higher education on the Fort Berthold Reservation.
The Three Affiliated Tribes endorsed the concept that a locally based higher education institution was needed to train Tribal members and to act as a positive influence in retaining the Tribal cultures. A steering committee was appointed to oversee the initial operations of the College. This committee was replaced by the selection of a Board of Directors in 1974.
The first classes offered at FBCC were on an extension basis with coordinating accredited institutions. The articulation agreements made in the beginning were with University of Mary, Bismarck, ND; Minot State College, Minot, ND; and the University of North Dakota, Williston Center, Williston, ND. The College proceeded to develop long-range planning models. This resulted in the development of a framework for carrying out the mission and goals of the College. This planning also resulted in the improvement of the educational and vocational services in the communities throughout the Reservation.
Fort Berthold Community College was granted accreditation on July 12, 2006, through the Higher Learning Commission of Schools and Colleges. The college is also one of twenty-nine tribal colleges granted 1994 Land Grant Institution status. Fort Berthold Community College is accredited by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The Fort Berthold Community College is also a member of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC).
