Salish Kootenai College extends our heartiest welcome to you. If you are thinking of attending our College, think no more. Salish Kootenai College (SKC) offers a variety of programs from Certificate programs, Associate and Bachelor's degrees as well as Graduate degrees. For the undergraduate degrees SKC has an "open door" policy for anyone 16 years and older. The graduate degrees are not open door or open enrollment but do require interested individuals to submit an application where an earned bachelor's degree and other credentials are examined to determine whether there is a fit for the graduate degree.

 

We are very proud of our College campus and its facilities. Classes are small and you will get much individual attention. We will work hard to help you be a successful student with our numerous services and caring faculty and staff.  We have state of the art classroom equipment, nice buildings, and attractive campus grounds. The beautiful Mission mountains serve as a wonderful backdrop to our campus. We do hope that you will have a successful experience here and will complete the program of study you choose.

New requirement for students and potential applicants with felonies

SKC requires completing the "Saftey and Security" section of the Admissions application, which requests information as to whether the applicant has a felony (Sexual or Violent).

An Affirmative response to any of these questions will not automatically prevent admission, but you will be asked by the Admissions Office to provide additional information. A campus committee to ensure campus safety will review this information. Any falsification or omission of data may result in a denial of admission or dismissal.
