American Indian culture is at the heart of the College of Menominee Nation.

College of Menominee Nation (CMN) degree programs, research, and student activities are committed to addressing contemporary problems through modern science and methodologies that are informed by ancient knowledge. This is most evident in sustainable development programs at CMN that draw on resource management philosophies tested over centuries in the great Menominee forest.

The main campus is in Keshena, Wisconsin, on the Menominee Indian reservation and adjacent to the historic Menominee forest. A satellite urban campus is in metropolitan Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The College of Menominee Nation has about 600 enrolled students, 80 percent of whom are enrolled members or descendants of American Indian tribes, but enrollment is open to all races.

It offers academic degrees in select associate and bachelor’s degree programs, diplomas and certificates in technical and trades areas, and a variety of continuing education options.

The College of Menominee Nation was chartered by the Menominee People in 1993, and authorized by the United States Congress in 1996 as one of only three Land Grant Colleges in Wisconsin.

The college is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and chosen for the Association’s prestigious Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP). The Associate Degree in Nursing program is accredited by:
