Why choose CLA?
CLA degree programs span the arts, humanities and social sciences. We have programs for those just starting to figure it out, and those already working
in their fields. Chances are high that you’ll find a program that meets your needs,
because you can craft your own college experience by designing a degree to support
your goals. We call that an interdisciplinary degree and CLA will help you navigate
the university system to get one of those too.
CLA is an incubator for change makers. CLA shapes and engages all facets of the human spirit through the arts, humanities, social sciences and languages. Our graduates enter the workforce with the drive, passion and, most important, experience that employers seek.
As home to the academic core of UAF, CLA strives to help you become a versatile, highly
employable citizen for a modern and ever-changing world. We are a highly-qualified
bunch of rule breakers who aren’t afraid to work outside of the box. We take great
joy in our work and it shows.
