College Statistics
At United Tribes Technical College, our data tells a story of purpose, progress, and possibility. Behind every number is a student working toward a degree, a family investing in a better future, and a campus committed to Native-led education and student success.
These statistics highlight who we serve, how our students are progressing, and why continued investment in campus facilities, wellness, and learning environments matters. Together, they reflect a growing institution focused on access, persistence, and outcomes that strengthen both our students and the communities they represent.
