About This School

Navajo Technical University is a public institution located in Crownpoint, New Mexico with approximately 1,134 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $3,307 per year. The graduation rate is 20%, and the typical graduate earns $21,800 within 10 years of enrollment.

Navajo Technical University (NTU) is a public tribal land-grant university in Crownpoint and Kirtland, New Mexico, with sites in the towns of Chinle, Arizona and Teec Nos Pos, Arizona. NTU is the largest tribal college in the country and is a 1994 land grant university. It has been accredited by the Higher Learning Commission since 2005 and is home to the first accredited veterinary technician program on an Indian reservation.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $3,307/year after aid, this is one of the most affordable paths to a degree you'll find anywhere, and the 86% freshman retention rate suggests students who enroll generally want to stay. However, the 20% graduation rate is a serious concern worth discussing openly, and median earnings of $21,800 a decade out means financial pressure doesn't disappear after graduation. This is worth considering if you're connected to the Navajo Nation, drawn to its unique programs like the first reservation-based accredited veterinary technician program, or need to stay close to home — but go in with a clear plan and strong support system to beat those completion odds.
