Abstract
Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) and Ethnic Minority-Serving Institutions (EMSIs) have made various efforts to address challenges and realize missions. For the exemplary strategies, practices, and specific programs presented in this chapter, TCUs and EMSIs demonstrate different focuses. In addition to the student-centered strategies and practices, TCUs emphasize their place- and needs-based, and culturally grounded characteristics in their programs. For EMSIs, they primarily present the highlights in the implementation of Chinese Ethnic Minority higher education policies. Besides, EMSIs demonstrate some innovative practices of ethnic language preservation (e.g., the Tibetan-language textbooks and computer operating system) and the combination of ethnic talent training and community service (e.g., the Graduate Internship Program at Yanbian University).
