The 2024-2025 Top 200 Colleges for Indigenous Students: Winds of Change 2024-2025 Special College Issue List of Top Schools is unlike any other college ranking
Choosing a college may be daunting, but we can help. We have designed this compilation of schools to organize and rate the factors you should consider in your decision. It includes the information you’ll find in any good college guide, and for Indigenous students, the Top 200 list offers a unique set of important data points. For example, finding a school where you feel comfortable and supported can determine how likely you are to stick with your program and finish your degree. With that in mind, we have focused our research to get you answers to important question like these:
- What schools are drawing Indigenous students in significant numbers?
- Which schools have Native faculty?
- Which schools have AISES chapters?
- Where is there strong support for the Indigenous students, from admissions through graduation?
- Where can I find meeting places and cultural centers for Native students?
- Which schools offer Native-centered academic programs?
The Top 200 also has key data on graduation rates, a figure that tells you how successful a school is in supporting students through their degree program. Our data shows you the percentage of students able to finish within six years, both the total student body and Indigenous students specifically. You’ll also find the same breakdown for STEM undergraduate degrees.
Our data reflects Native population demographics, so the Southwest, the Northwest, Oklahoma, California, and the Great Lakes state are heavily represented — unlike other lists that weighted to the East, Southeast and Midwest.
