Student Support

Thanks to a combination of distance delivery technologies and face-to-face education, there are many paths for students wishing to take classes. As a student, you can complete any number of certificates and degree programs all while staying right here in our region.

Classes are taught either on campus in Kotzebue, at our local partner organizations, such as the Alaska Technical Center, Kotzebue High School and the Maniilaq Dental Clinic or via distance through one of the many University of Alaska campuses around the state.
