About This School

Bay Mills Community College (BMCC) is a public tribal land-grant community college in Brimley, Michigan. It is chartered by the federally recognized Bay Mills Indian Community of Michigan with a total enrollment of approximately 500 on-campus and online students. The students come primarily from Michigan's eastern Upper Peninsula and are 60% Native American. BMCC is a member of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC), a community of tribally and federally chartered institutions working to strengthen tribal nations, and a land-grant college.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $4,282/year in net cost, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find, making it genuinely accessible for students from the eastern Upper Peninsula who want to stay close to home and community. However, the 30% graduation rate is a real concern — most students who start here don't finish — and median earnings of $24,600 a decade out suggest limited economic lift even for those who do complete a degree. This is worth considering if you're a Native American student who values the tribal college environment, cultural connection, and low cost, but go in with a clear plan to stay on track and finish.
