The college was chartered by the Menominee Tribal Legislature in 1993 and began offering classes in the 1993 Spring semester. The College of Menominee Nation was granted full accreditation by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools on August 7, 1998. In 1994, the college was designated a land-grant college alongside 31 other tribal colleges.
