MSU helps improve American Indians' access to education via distance programs
When Julie Schildt, an enrolled member of the Blackfeet tribe, graduated with a bachelor's degree from Montana State University, she did so through a program that allowed her to continue living at home in her small community and working full-time.
"It enabled me to stay at home," said Schildt, 54, who lives near Browning. "I didn't have to make any moves to attend school, and it enabled me to keep working. That made it more affordable."
MSU's Early Childhood Education Distance Partnership (ECEDP) program, from which Schildt graduated, and another program called Indian Leadership and Development (I LEAD) both provide access to degree programs for students throughout the state who have historically been underserved, according to Larry Baker, dean of MSU's College of Education, Health and Human Development, which houses the programs.
