Tribal College Partnerships

The MT EPSCoR diversity plan targets increasing success in STEM disciplines for Native Americans and other underrepresented groups in the MUS. In cooperation with the Montana's tribal colleges, an accelerated math preparation program for pre-college Native American high school students will be developed and implemented. This program is a four-way partnership with reservation high schools, tribal colleges, 4-year universities and the MT EPSCoR program.

This program is being piloted at Little Big Horn College in the Summer of 2012.
