Today, NTU is one of the premier institutions of higher education in the nation, providing a unique balance between science and technology and culture and tradition. In 2013, NTC became NTU - becoming the first university established on the Navajo Nation. In 1985 the Board of Directors changed the Skill Center’s name to Crownpoint Institute of Technology and in November 2006 the Navajo Nation Council approved changing the name to Navajo Technical College. Students enrolled to learn the rudiments of a trade, graduated, and joined the workforce however, it soon became clear that the students wanted more. It was as a result of this movement that NTU began as the Navajo Skill Center in 1979 to meet the immediate needs of an unemployed population on the Navajo Nation. Navajo Technical University, like all tribal colleges and universities, grew out of a prayer in the 1960s that envisioned all tribes moving toward self-determination by expressing their sovereignty and establishing their own institutions of higher education.
