Launch a rocket. Monitor muskoxen. Study in Spain. It's your life. Make it off the charts or off the grid. Whether Alaska is home or a new beginning, a UAF degree offers you the ultimate opportunity: a chance to make a living doing what you love. UAF students are a down-to-earth, free-thinking bunch — exploring, researching and innovating in and out of the classroom.

The university's backyard is the vast environmental laboratory of Alaska, so it attracts exceptional individuals — academic superstars and adventure-seekers alike. With seven campuses across the state, it is home to more than 8,000 students from all over the world — each in pursuit of something extraordinary. The University of Alaska Fairbanks offers more than 150 degree and certificate programs in almost as many disciplines. Whether you're looking for a greater sense of purpose or a true sense of belonging, the UAF community is here for you. We believe that life is what you make of it, that knowledge is indeed power, and that a natural curiosity about the world will always be your best GPS.
