Welcome to our Red Lake Campus!
Our Minneapolis office will be under renovations over the summer, with the project due to be complete Spring of 2024.
Red Lake Nation College has secured a location in Downtown Minneapolis and began the delivery of courses in the Fall of 2022 through distance education. As the only Tribal College in the Twin Cities, RLNC serves a unique market niche in higher education that no one else is serving, Native Communities. RLNC Minneapolis will be the first Tribal College in the USA serving a major metropolitan center.
