Bay Mills Community College

Welcome to Bay Mills Community College (BMCC), Michigan's pioneering accredited Tribal College, rooted deeply in the rich heritage of the Anishinaabek Community. Since its inception, BMCC has been a beacon of education, fostering economic development and cultural preservation while opening its doors to all who seek knowledge. It stands unique as a public tribal land-grant institution, dedicated to nurturing both academic excellence and personal growth.

Established in 1981 as a vital vocational program, BMCC quickly evolved to address the broader educational needs of the seven Native American communities it initially served. Its significance was formally recognized in 1984 when it was chartered by the Bay Mills Indian Community, falling under the esteemed Tribal colleges and universities provisions. A pivotal moment arrived in 1994 when BMCC was designated as a land-grant institution, solidifying its commitment to comprehensive education and community service.

Today, BMCC proudly serves over seven hundred students annually through a dynamic array of on-campus, off-campus, and expansive online programs that reach across North America. While approximately 60% of its vibrant student body comprises American Indians, BMCC is a welcoming environment for everyone. Its academic strengths lie in providing tailored programs that support its diverse learners, from those building foundational skills to individuals pursuing higher education.

At BMCC, you'll find an institution deeply committed to its mission: offering robust academic and personal enrichment programs. The college's innovative use of technology ensures that quality education extends beyond physical borders, making learning accessible and impactful. Join a community where tradition meets innovation, and every student is empowered to achieve their potential.
