AOD Issues at Tribal Colleges and Universities

According to the White House Initiative on Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) “there are 36 federally recognized TCUs in the United States. Located mainly in the Midwest and Southwest, TCUs enroll approximately 30,000 full- and part-time students. They offer two-year associate degrees in more than 200 disciplines, with some providing a bachelor’s and master’s degree. They also offer 200 vocational certificate programs. TCUs are both integral and essential to their communities. They are often the only postsecondary institutions within some of our Nation’s poorest rural areas. TCUs serve a variety of people, from young adults to senior citizens, American Indians to non-American Indians. They also provide crucial services and add hope to communities that suffer high rates of poverty and unemployment.”
