Blackfeet Community College
Private College in Browning, MT. Six-year graduation rate 62%. Median 10-year earnings $22,953.
Ten-year median earnings of $22,953 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. Six-year completion sits at 62%, near the national average for undergraduate institutions.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
Academics
62% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. 75% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. The 7:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a private nonprofit four-year college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 251 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $-50 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Income makes less difference than usual: $6,643 at $0–30k, $9,453 at $75–110k. 100% of students get grant aid averaging $7,304, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $6,643 |
| $30–48k | $1,521 |
| $48–75k | $3,461 |
