Welcome to Northwest Indian College.
Building People, Building Nations.
Northwest Indian College’s student body is diverse, ranging from students straight out of high school, many attracted by our growing athletic program, to returning adult learners of all ages. Over 75 percent of our students come from a federally-recognized Indian tribe and our students represent over 90 different Tribal nations. The Northwest Indian College proudly serves over 1,200 students annually.
NWIC Extended Campus Locations
Northwest Indian College‘s main campus is located at the Lummi Nation. The College also has six full service extended campus sites located at Muckleshoot, Nez Perce, Nisqually, Port Gamble S’Klallam, Swinomish, and Tulalip. Please use the location links to view details for each extended campus site.
Through education, Northwest Indian College promotes Indigenous self-determination and knowledge.

"NWIC has been life changing for me. This educational journey has allowed me to understand where I come from and how my ancestor’s decisions long ago are affecting my life today."
