As a result, students and alumni have access to opportunities that aren’t available anywhere else.

URBAN MEETS WILD

When you aren’t exploring the unsurpassed beauty of Alaska, you’ll enjoy a variety of engaging activities, highlighted by urban amenities such as shopping centers, fine dining, and an active fine arts and entertainment community. Everything Anchorage has to offer is connected by a bike-friendly, citywide trail system, and most major attractions are just a short bus ride from the UAA campus.

ANCHORAGE FAST FACTS

•Anchorage

Population: 288,121

•Anchorage has 500+ miles of trails inside the city

•See Denali (North America’s tallest peak) on a clear day

•Ted Stevens is the 3rd busiest airport in the world in cargo traffic

Alaska

Admitted into the union in 1959, Alaska is the 49th and one of the most unique states in the entire country. With a land area larger than Texas, California and Montana combined, the state boasts over 600 million acres of land managed by the U.S. National Park Service, ripe with wildlife and stunning landscapes ranging from mountainous terrain to arctic tundra. Alaska has the highest per capita income in the United States and is just 9.5 hours by flight to 90 percent of the industrialized world.

ALASKA FAST FACTS

•Alaska is derived from the Unangax word, “Alaxsxa,” meaning “mainland”

•The Alaska almanac estimates that Alaska has 100,000 glaciers

•Alaska is home to the largest national park in the United States: Wrangell-St. Elias

•The longest day of the year in Southcentral Alaska has 22 hours of daylight

At UAA you’ll find opportunities to engage with your fellow Seawolves at every turn: with over 50 student clubs and organizations and yearround events, you can find people that share your interests—and those that will share a completely new perspective.

UAA’s biggest strength is easily the community. I have never felt nervous to reach out to my professors if I needed help, and they have made it very clear that they want us to utilize their knowledge so that we can be better prepared to meet the class and future workplace requirements

[UAA’s] biggest strength is the accessibility students have [for] research opportunities. The ASET (Applied Science, Engineering and Technology) Lab has chemical instruments for students to use that they would normally not have access to in bigger colleges. This allows them to further their experience while still being in college. Having the opportunity to work in the laboratory has allowed me to have experience that I can take to my career in a forensics laboratory setting. I feel like I made the right decision in attending UAA to achieve the degree I wanted, and I will be able to put that to use working for the Alaska State Crime Lab.

I chose to attend UAA because it was the most cost-effective option for me. I think it’s awesome that UAA can provide such a high-quality education to those who aren’t willing to burn a hole in their wallet (and their life savings). I was initially worried that the quality of education wouldn’t impress me, but I couldn’t be more wrong. At least within the College of Engineering, I have yet to encounter a professor that hasn’t impressed me. It’s also nice attending a university like UAA where I can develop such personal relationships with my professors because they are so available

DSS coordinates support services for UAA students who experience disabilities, and provides resources for the university and community.

Military and Veteran Student Services supports service members, veterans and their families toward their respective academic goals. Achieving gold-level status from Military Friendly® this past year, the MVSS office provides paramount assistance in receiving veteran education benefits and military tuition assistance.

Multicultural Student Services (MSS) promotes academic and personal growth of traditionally underserved and underrepresented students. Within the center is the AHAINA (African American, Hispanic, Asian, International, and Native American) program.

They provide services to UAA students regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, religion, or other diverse experiences or identities that contribute to an individual.

The UAA Pride Center is one of the most recent efforts toward the University’s mission of putting students first. Opened in Spring 2023 and located in the Student Union, the center provides programs and support services for LGBTQIA2S+ members of the UAA community. Through fostering a sense of community and belonging, as well as co-creating meaningful engagement for holistic student development, students have a safe space to explore gender identity and sexual orientation in a non-judgmental atmosphere.

Research Spotlight

UAA is a hub for cutting-edge theoretical and applied research in health, engineering, and the physical and social sciences. In nearly every discipline, undergraduate and graduate students have the opportunity to join research teams and collaborate with experienced faculty mentors.

Addressing environmental challenges in Alaska

UAA Associate Professor of Environmental Health Micah Hahn is leading a research project around climate change, health, wildfire smoke and environmental justice in Alaska that recently received a $1.3 million grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Hahn’s project is titled Filling data gaps: Developing a community-centered tool for assessing health impacts of intersecting climate hazards, wildfire smoke exposure, and social disparities in rural tribal and aging communities in Alaska. Hahn’s research team will engage academic researchers, state, tribal, wildfire management, public health entities, and community partners to develop locally relevant and practical tools for

accessing health, climate, and environmental data in a useful and understandable way. Communities will be able to use the tool to assess compounding climate hazards and social vulnerabilities, prioritize climate-related health impacts and vulnerable groups, design effective interventions, and apply for climate resilience funding. In addition, the research team will connect with communities around the state to learn about challenges they have experienced with monitoring local air quality. The team will use this information to support the development of a more resilient and sustainable network of low-cost air quality sensors in Alaska.

Increasing exposure to wildfire smoke is a major issue in Alaska, with intersecting climate-related hazards such as the impacts of warming winter weather on transportation safety, ecological changes driving unpredictable fisheries, and coastal erosion affecting community infrastructure. There are major data gaps in Alaska compared to communities in the Lower 48 with regard to these environmental changes and the impact they are having on the health of our communities.

Faculty Highlights

Educators here care about the students. We care about their success. Your biggest resource is your teachers who can direct you to scholarships or other resources that you may not know exist. UAA is a great value for the education you receive. We’re a hidden gem. Some people don’t realize the world-class professors we have here. They don’t realize that the College of Business and Public Policy meets the same AACSB accreditation standards as Ivy League colleges – an accreditation level only 6% of business schools have. You don’t need to leave Alaska to receive a quality education.

Terry Nelson Associate Dean/Professor of Leadership and Business Administration

You get this sense from a lot of indigenous people that they want to use their degree to help their people, their communities, or their families. One of the reasons I chose engineering was because I wanted to work in water and wastewater for communities that didn’t have it. That was so powerful for me because I couldn’t imagine not having running water, or not having a flushing toilet. It filled my heart to help other Native communities get that. When I talk to students about their pathway in my intro class, I have them think about why they care about getting this degree. The only thing that’s really going to carry you through a hard test or a hard day is going to be why you care about doing this.

Michele Yatchmeneff Executive Director for Alaska Native Education & Outreach Associate Professor of Civil Engineering The only Alaska Native in the world with a PhD in Engineering Education

I was surprised at UAA's fast student support service. I have had a situation where I had to go to the financial aid office. It was my first time there and I was nervous. The person who helped me out was really nice and informative. She explained in detail the answers to my questions. I was happy to walk away from that experience knowing that I am not alone and that there are people who can help. All I had to do was reach out.

UAA is a member of the north2north University of the Arctic exchange program. Membership gives UAA students the opportunity to go on exchange to many institutions throughout the north, experience another place and culture, and study topics that relate to the Arctic.

IEP International Exchange Programs

UAA has exchange agreements with institutions in Japan including Hokkaido University of Education and Iwate University. Students who wish to study abroad through an international student exchange program must complete the UAA Education Abroad Application and submit it by the deadline.

My experience with the education abroad program was incredible. I spent three months studying abroad in Grenoble, France. While there, I was enrolled in the French intensive course which consisted of four hours of French instruction per day. Because of this, my French language skills have vastly improved. School aside, I developed as a person in every way possible while experiencing a completely different culture from everything that I knew. The most meaningful experience that I had was living with a host family. My host family was the best part of my experience, as they truly integrated me into their family while I was there. My only regret would be doing the half-year program rather than the full-year!

There are aspects of this position that I have been doing my entire career, such as building more inclusive environments, advocating for the underserved and giving the underrepresented a voice in the way we serve them. Those are the things I cherished during my law enforcement career, and being able to impact Providence in that same fashion spoke to me. Once I started studying law enforcement, I saw where I could make a difference and help people in their time of need and be that visible symbol of hope. Really, my time at UAA solidified that desire that this is what I want to do and gave me the tools I needed to take that step.

Especially in the disabilities world, it helps to have that education in not just disability, but the medicalized limitations, the psychopathy, the way individuals are looked at for mental health. That background helps to see things from a perspective that views people not as medical patients that need to be fixed, but that we all are humans with neurodivergence that are living in a limiting society.
