The school was chartered in 2002 by the Comanche Nation Business Committee. Comanche Nation College operated until July 31, 2017.


      History


      A Comanche Nation Charter Resolution established CNC as a community college in 2002. CNC was the first Tribal College established in the state of Oklahoma. The college closed in 2017 due to a lack of funding following a loss of accreditation.
