Bay Mills Community College

One of three tribally controlled colleges in Michigan, and the only community college in the Eastern Upper Peninsula, BMCC is committed to providing affordable, culturally relevant, accessible, and high quality education to all tribal communities in Michigan and their neighbors.

As a tribally controlled community college and land grant institution, the mission of Bay Mills Community College is to provide quality educational opportunities, promote research and facilitate individual development in an accessible, community-based, and culturally diverse environment that supports and maintains the Anishinaabek culture and language.

In carrying out our mission, the BMCC Board of Regents stresses a positive, student-centered atmosphere, which promotes preservation of the customs and beliefs of Native Americans. The curriculum is designed to integrate traditional Native American values with higher education as a way of preparing students to assume responsible roles in their respective communities.
