The School of Management Experience
The University of Alaska Fairbanks School of Management is dedicated to providing high-quality business education in Alaska through a unique, active and experiential learning environment. With small class sizes, dedicated and approachable faculty and many opportunities for students to connect with the local community and professionals in their fields, SOM prepares broadly-educated professionals with a wealth of hands-on experience.

Think outside the classroom
What sets SOM apart from other schools are the extensive opportunities available for hands-on learning experiences beyond the classroom that prepare students for professional success. Students help run SOM’s major events, are encouraged to join at least one of the many SOM student organizations, and are funded for travel opportunities to conferences, competitions and career-focused trips.
Connect to community
SOM provides numerous opportunities for students to connect with local businesses and the greater Fairbanks community. Class projects are aimed toward helping local businesses, and events such as the KPMG Spring Etiquette Seminar and Dinner are held annually to allow students to interact directly with professionals in their fields.
Accreditation means quality
The UAF School of Management and its accounting program are simultaneously accredited through the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International. This highly sought after dual accreditation has only been achieved by 1.5% of AACSB universities worldwide and UAF is the only university in Alaska with this distinction.

Students get Professionally Polished at Frank’s Menswear
March 26, 2020
For the third year in a row, thanks to a donation from Spirit of Alaska Federal Credit Union, SOM once again collaborated with Sarah Smith, owner of Frank’s Menswear, to carry out the Professionally Polished program. Frank’s staff provided guidance by teaching students what to look for when buying a suit. For a few of the students, this was their very first suit! Frank’s also offered a special discount for our students. This year, Spirit of Alaska FCU increased their donation for this program, allowing a record number of 16 students to participate. The Professionally Polished program lays important groundwork for students who are migrating from student life toward professional life as they graduate from the university and find jobs. Giving students a boost in their wardrobes gives them a boost in their confidence, as well. We wish all our students the best with their professional style in the future. Thank you to Spirit of Alaska FCU and Frank’s Menswear for supporting School of Management students.
