BMCC Buildings

Bay Mills Community College (BMCC) was chartered by the Bay Mills Indian Community (BMIC) in 1984, to meet the training needs of the Tribe’s growing workforce. From very meager beginnings, BMCC received initial accreditation in 1995, and today is a fully operating Tribal College and Land Grant Institution with an open admissions policy for students of any race, creed, color, and national or ethnic origin.

Bay Mills Community College is located on the Southeastern shore of Lake Superior, within the Bay Mills Indian Community in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. As Michigan’s first fully accredited, tribally controlled college, BMCC meets the educational needs of a wide variety of students, from its remote, rural Main Campus, West Campus, Mukwa Health and Fitness Education Center, East Campus, Waishkey Bay Farm, off-campus sites, and online courses. BMCC is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium.

BMCC is one of three tribally controlled colleges in the State of Michigan, and the only community college in Michigan’s Eastern Upper Peninsula; it is committed to providing affordable, culturally relevant, accessible, and high quality educational opportunities to all tribal communities in Michigan and their neighbors.  BMCC is also committed to providing leadership in the areas of economic and community development for the Bay Mills Indian Community and Eastern Upper Michigan.

Control is vested in a Board of Regents, which elects the officers of the Board and establishes overall institutional policy.

The Institutional Research Department is responsible for collecting and verifying data to ensure accurate information is being provided for internal use and external reporting. Transparency is an important piece of the relationship between BMCC and its stakeholders, potential students and their families, and other interested parties. Below is the statistical data representing the student profile, retention, and graduation rates overall and by demographics.

It is important that this data is well thought-out and understood. Some key definitions can be found in our Data Dictionary. For a more in-depth examination of BMCC’s data and reporting, please click on the link to visit the Institutional Research Department.
