The Tribal Governance and Administration Department focuses on structures, processes and issues specific to Tribal Governments and Tribal Operations. Coursework provides the knowledge and skills needed to work successfully within Tribal organizations, governments and schools as well as to navigate state, federal and other non-Tribal organizations. The program is also appropriate for those working with governmental or other organizations in a liaison role with Tribal Governments and programs.

Currently, there are no other Bachelor of Arts Degree Programs in any of the tribal colleges in the U.S. in the area of Tribal Governance and Tribal Administration. The Tribal Governance and Administration curriculum has been developed to meet the needs of emerging leaders who are interested in entering in the field of Tribal government and Tribal administration.
