About This School

Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College is a public institution located in New Town, North Dakota with approximately 139 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $3,669 per year. The graduation rate is 17%, and the typical graduate earns $31,200 within 10 years of enrollment.

Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College is a public tribal land-grant college in New Town, North Dakota. Chartered by the Three Affiliated Tribes of the Fort Berthold Reservation, the college awards associate and bachelor’s degrees. In addition to its main campus in New Town, the college operates branches in Mandaree and White Shield.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $3,669 per year after aid, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere, and its mission serving the Three Affiliated Tribes makes it a meaningful choice for students connected to that community. However, the 17% graduation rate is a serious concern — most students who enroll do not finish — and median earnings of $31,200 a decade out leave little financial cushion. Worth considering if you have strong ties to the Fort Berthold Reservation and need an accessible, low-cost path to an associate or bachelor's degree, but go in with a clear plan and support system to beat those completion odds.
