INSPIRING RESULTS Active knowledge Learn and live. Stay grounded or take flight.

Whether Alaska is home or a jumping-off point, a UAF degree can take you anywhere. Some graduates stay to help Alaska grow, as leaders, builders and innovators. Others travel the world in search of a new destiny. Wherever you land, a UAF degree offers the ultimate opportunity: a chance to make a living doing what you love.

So choose the path that intrigues you — you never know where it might lead. We know history majors who became teachers, business majors who do social work, and science majors who study medicine.

We have alumni with Olympic medals and Academy Awards. Most importantly, we have Nanooks all over the globe rising to the top of their game and making the world a better place.

INSPIRATION. IT COMES FROM PEOPLE, PLACES AND IDEAS. UAF is a hotbed of all three — where everyone has a story to tell, where nature in its relentless grandeur brings true perspective, and where innovation reigns supreme. Venture outside the classroom, where fieldwork really is in the field — and in the forest, ocean, or any of the rugged terrain that makes up Alaska’s vast, natural laboratory. Around here, if you’re game, you’re in. Even undergrads work one-on-one with world-class faculty on advanced research.

This is where theory meets practice and where hands-on experience gets its place in the sun.
