The Carnegie Classification® is the nation’s leading framework for classifying the
diverse U.S. institutions of higher education into broadly similar groups based on
nationally reported and publicly available institutional data. This classification
that was first published in the early 70s is now updated every three years. So far,
Carnegie offers one basic classification system that is universally applied to nearly
4,000 U.S. colleges and universities. Based on our 2020 Institutional data, UAF is
classified as a Doctoral University with High Research Activity (R2). Close examination
of the data reveals that UAF is on the very high end of the R2 class, and with some
change in our institutional profile, we can be classified as a Doctoral University
with Very High Research (R1).
We'd like to hear from you! Whether you are new to the university or have been around
a while, you can help familiarize employees with the university by simply sharing
your story. We may use your submission in the onboarding program, and you also will be entered
into a prize drawing! The winner can choose between a parking decal and a loaded swag
bag. Submissions must be received by 5 p.m. on July 24!
Learn about the Kenai Peninsula forests in interactive walks and talks with the University
of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service's outreach forester Glen Holt. He will discuss forest succession and ecology, identify trees and shrubs and talk

Forest Stewardship Program and planning, preparing and implementing forest improvements
on the peninsula.
