Leech Lake Tribal College (LLTC) is a public tribal land-grant community college in Cass Lake, Minnesota. It was established in 1990 and designated a land-grant college in 1994. The college includes approximately 70 faculty, staff, administrators, and 250 students. Most students come from the Leech Lake and Red Lake Reservations, and approximately 8% of the student population consists of non-Indian students.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: with median earnings of just $14,700 a decade after enrollment, graduates are earning well below what's needed to comfortably repay even the modest average net price of $13,746 per year. That said, this small tribal college (243 students) serves a specific and important mission — supporting the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe community with culturally grounded education and accessible pathways for students who may have limited options elsewhere. Worth considering if you're tied to this community and value that mission, but go in clear-eyed about the earnings outlook and plan accordingly.
