The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $5,580 per year after aid, this tribal college in Box Elder, MT is genuinely affordable, and its small 187-student enrollment means you won't get lost in the crowd. However, the 33% graduation rate and median earnings of $23,800 a decade out are real concerns — fewer than 1 in 3 students finish, and those who do aren't seeing strong financial returns. Worth considering if you're connected to the community it serves or need a low-cost starting point, but go in with a clear plan to transfer or complete a degree.
