University of Alaska Anchorage

The University of Alaska Anchorage provides curricula that offer its students the opportunity to acquire the intellectual skills, habits of mind and ethical sensibilities necessary to develop into individuals who make informed judgments and interpretations about their community and the broader world, who take full responsibility for their beliefs and actions, who recognize the connection between knowing and acting, and who commit themselves to lifelong learning. The UAA curricula emphasize that while the acquisition of knowledge is an end in itself, each UAA graduate must enter the world beyond the university fully equipped to live resiliently in a changing world and be willing to apply theories and methodologies to examine and resolve the problems of their own communities and those of an increasingly diverse and interdependent world.
