The college aspires to be one of the first institutions in the Valley to offer an extensive Navajo language and cultural program, in an effort to meet the increasing demand for Navajo language instructors on the reservations. Today, the college offers four levels of Navajo language courses and instructors are in the process of developing three additional classes.
