UAF gets it done
We're a top university
UAF is the only national university in Alaska, according to U.S. News and World Report's 2019 rankings. In fact, Times Higher Education ranked UAF among the world's best small universities in 2019.
We're accredited
The University of Alaska Fairbanks is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.
We're military friendly
UAF has been designated a Military Friendly® School by GI Jobs magazine for the past eight years, and has been selected as a TOP SCHOOL by Military Advanced Education for the fourth year in a row.
We have a 360+ million-acre classroom
UAF was named the #1 college for hiking by Backpacker Magazine and the #12 U.S. college for outdoor adventures by the OutBound Collective.
More options, more opportunities
Launch a rocket. Monitor muskoxen. Study in Spain. It's your life. Make it off the charts or off the grid.
Whether Alaska is home or a new beginning, a UAF degree offers the ultimate opportunity: a chance to make a living doing what you love. So choose the path that intrigues you -- you never know where it might lead.
