KuC Mission

Kuskokwim Campus of UAF prepares professional, community, and cultural leaders in an active and relevant learning environment.

About us

Kuskokwim Campus is the largest rural campus in the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) system and is a branch campus of the College of Indigenous Studies (CIS). The campus is physically located in Bethel, a regional hub community situated in Alaska's Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, about 400 miles west of Anchorage. The Kuskokwim Campus offers academic, vocational and community interest courses, as well as courses leading to associate, baccalaureate and master's degrees.

Our service area includes census districts with the highest rates of poverty, youthfulness, and lowest rates of full-time permanent employment in the state and nation (U.S. Census Bureau data). The region also holds one of the last indigenous cultures and societies resident in their homeland and still speaking a vital Native language - Central Yup'ik/Cup'ik Eskimo.

Kuskokwim Campus (KuC) of UAF strives to educate and prepare professional, community, and culturally rooted leaders within a healthy, active, and culturally relevant learning environment. KuC serves as the only Remote Campus with a Dorm. KuC offers classes relevant to the region. Our education core tries to match the needs or the people in the region. Our instructors are real people and residents of the YK Delta. KuC also provides students with a comfortable college and dorm experience in the YK Delta so students can be more successful as they transition to UAF and the larger UA Campuses.
