About the Wileety Native American College (WNAC)
Wileety – Pronounced “Wuh-lehh-too” is a Miwok term which means “To Bloom, To be Bright, to Shine.”
The Wileety Native American College is the first of its kind on a California State University Campus and is housed at Sacramento State. Students will submit applications to Cal State Apply. After acceptance into Sacramento State, they will submit a subsequent application to the Wileety Native American College. Students will enter the Native American College either as first-year or transfer students and/or junior year. General Education courses, when possible, will be mapped out to encourage students to enter classes as a cohort. All students will minor in Native American Studies, with an emphasis on Tribal leadership. The students may select any major that the University offers and into which they are accepted.
The Wileety Native American College will provide career and Tribal leadership-focused activities and training for the professional development necessary for success both within and outside of Native American communities at the local, state, and national levels. Student support services will be easily accessed through the Wileety Native American College to provide a more fluid pathway through the university. Students will collaborate with their peers through the cohort model, thus creating support systems with the potential to become lifetime networks and resources. Preparing students within a Native context for a successful future is a primary goal of the Wileety Native American College.
