Haskell Indian Nations University

Haskell Indian Nations University is a diverse inter-tribal university. What began in 1884 as an assimilation-era American Indian boarding school has grown into a nationally recognized, accredited university that makes a positive difference in the lives of our students. This is done by respecting Indigenous knowledge and cultures throughout our certificate and degree programs—as well as across our campus—while welcoming more than 900 students each semester from federally recognized tribes across the United States.

As a federally supported institution within the Bureau of Indian Education, Haskell offers an affordable, quality education in a supportive environment designed for Indigenous students. Undergraduates gain a meaningful college education while being part of a vibrant intertribal community that values tradition, innovation, professional and career development, and personal growth.

Language

Currently, due to the diverse inter-tribal enrollment, no language classes are offered.
