Thesis (Ed.D.)--Harvard University, 2002.

Tribal colleges provide unique postsecondary opportunities for more than 24,000 American Indian/Alaska (AI/AN) students living on or near Indian reservations yet very little research is available on student persistence at these schools. To develop strategies to help American Indian/Alaska Native students finish college, policymakers need to know both when and why students graduate at tribal colleges.

520 $a Tribal colleges provide unique postsecondary opportunities for more than 24,000 American Indian/Alaska (AI/AN) students living on or near Indian reservations yet very little research is available on student persistence at these schools. To develop strategies to help American Indian/Alaska Native students finish college, policymakers need to know both when and why students graduate at tribal colleges.
520 $a In my study, I examined the enrollment and graduation patterns of 1,135 tribal college students who studied at the Fort Berthold Community College (FBCC) on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in New Town, North Dakota between 1987 and 1995. By spring of 1997, only 232 students (20%) received either a two-year degree or nine-month certificate as their first degree. I first looked at when the tribal college students are most likely to graduate with their first degree. After controlling for selected variables, I examined whether academic and financial factors were associated with the risk of graduating.
520 $a The risk of graduating is initially very low (less than 5% in each of the first three semesters) and peaks (at 30%) at seven semesters. I identified three variables associated with graduation. First, students who were not members of the Three Affiliated Tribes showed a higher risk of graduation than Tribal members. Second, students who enroll full time are more likely to graduate then those who attend part time. Third, the higher the level of financial aid, the more likely the student will graduate. These results suggest that tribal college administrators and faculty need to be knowledgeable about their student bodies to develop appropriate interventions to encourage tribal college students to persist.
