How to Get Started in Tribal Enterprise Management
Welcome to the website of an innovative and active program! Winter Quarter begins January 4, 2010.
The Tribal Enterprise Management Program focuses on career preparation related to the growth of the hotel, casino and resort employment opportunities on the Tulalip reservation. The program is open to all, and leads to a two-year degree, the Associate in Technical Arts in Business Administration. If you are interested in continuing on for a Bachelor's degree, The Evergreen State College
offers a BA in Liberal Arts - Reservation-Based and Community-Determined, at Tulalip, for students who have social and cultural ties to the Native communities.
There are several ways to get started in the Tribal Enterprise Management Program. For your convenience we have scheduled "One-Stop" days where you can learn about the program, complete placement testing, and register for Summer and Fall Quarters. All sessions are located at the Tulalip South Lot, 6103 31st Ave NE, Building B, Tulalip, WA.

More about Testing
In general, a skills assessment is required for the Tribal Enterprise Management program so that we know which classes are best for you when you start. All new students are required to complete placement testing (ASSET or COMPASS) in reading, writing and math. Don't worry! This is not a pass-fail test that could keep you out of college. Your test results help us place you in the correct level of class so that you have the best chance of success. We offer this placement test during our One-Stop sessions at Tulalip, as well as on-campus. Please bring a $30.00 check, payable to EvCC, which is required before the placement test may be taken. You may qualify for a test fee waiver if you are a member of the Tulalip Tribes or an employee of the Tulalip Casino.
Cost
Members of the Tulalip Tribes and related family members may be eligible for tuition assistance. Eligibility is determined at the time of registration. Employees of tribal enterprises may find that their employer will cover all or part of their tuition. Financial aid is also available to eligible students. Students are responsible for verifying their method of payment through financial assistance, their employer, or through their own funds at the time of registration.
Location
Classes for the Tribal Enterprise Management program occur in the Marysville area. Locations are being updated and will be posted soon. Our current locations include the Tulalip South Lot building and the Marysville Arts and Tech. High School.
