About Little Big Horn College
Empowering Crow Tribe students as a proud land-grant community college.
Little Big Horn College stands as a beacon of educational opportunity, uniquely chartered in 1980 by the Crow Tribe of Indians. This public two-year community college is deeply rooted in the cultural heritage and aspirations of its community, providing accessible higher education right on the reservation.
Its very name, derived from the Little Big Horn River, connects students directly to the powerful history and landscape of the Big Horn Mountains. A pivotal moment in its journey came in 1994 when it received the prestigious designation as a land-grant college, joining 31 other tribal colleges in a commitment to research, extension, and accessible education that serves local needs.
Under the visionary leadership of its first president, Dr. Janine Pease, LBHC has cultivated a supportive learning environment. Students here benefit from a close-knit community college experience, gaining foundational knowledge and skills that prepare them for further academic pursuits or immediate entry into the workforce. It's a place where tradition meets modern education, fostering growth both personally and academically within a rich cultural context.
