About This School

Dine College is a public institution located in Tsaile, Arizona with approximately 1,375 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $6,057 per year. The graduation rate is 13%, and the typical graduate earns $23,400 within 10 years of enrollment.

Diné College is a public tribal land-grant college based in Tsaile, Arizona, serving the 27,000-square-mile (70,000 km2) Navajo Nation. It offers associate degrees, bachelor's degrees, academic certificates, and one master's degree.

The numbers here tell a concerning story — a 5% graduation rate and 33% freshman retention rate suggest most students don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. That said, this is a uniquely mission-driven institution serving the Navajo Nation across 27,000 square miles, and at roughly $10,218/year net cost, it may be the most accessible and culturally grounded option for students connected to that community. If you enroll, go in with a clear plan and strong support system, because the data shows most students struggle to make it through.
