About This School

Chief Dull Knife College is a public institution located in Lame Deer, Montana with approximately 226 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $9,594 per year. Typical graduates earn $22,100 within 10 years of enrollment.

Chief Dull Knife College is a public tribal land-grant community college on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in Lame Deer, Montana. It is an open-admission college with about 141 students. On average, more than half of its graduates move on to four-year colleges.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at roughly $9,600/year after aid, this tribal college in Lame Deer, MT is genuinely affordable, and its small 226-student enrollment means you won't get lost in the crowd. However, median earnings of $22,100 a decade after enrollment are low, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone — building foundational credits close to home before transferring — rather than a final destination if income growth is a priority.
