This chapter explains how and why Tribal College and University (TCU) enrollment positively influences Native American student persistence in mainstream four‐year institutions. It also explores existing partnerships between TCUs and mainstream four‐year institutions that could help to improve the transfer process, and overall, Native American student persistence. The ways in which academic and student affairs can partner creatively are emphasized throughout.
