Fort Peck Community College

Fort Peck Community College (FPCC) stands as a beacon of educational opportunity and community service for the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes. Chartered directly by the tribes, FPCC is dedicated to fostering growth and providing vital post-secondary education within its home communities, ensuring that higher learning is accessible and relevant to its students.

The college's history is deeply intertwined with the needs of its people. Established in 1978, FPCC was founded on the principle of empowering tribal members through education, directly addressing the demand for local opportunities. This commitment to academic excellence and community development was recognized when the college achieved accreditation from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities in December 1991.

Further cementing its role as a foundational institution, FPCC was designated a land-grant college in 1994, joining 31 other tribal colleges across the nation. This designation highlights FPCC's unique mission and its pivotal role in providing an education that not only equips students with valuable skills but also honors and supports the rich cultural heritage and future aspirations of the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes. Students at FPCC find a supportive environment focused on local relevance and impactful service.
