Welcome

Welcome to the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½. It is my honor to serve as the ninth chancellor of the university in its 100 year history. Founded in 1917, ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ has grown to become the global leader in Arctic research, and a university known for Alaska Native and Indigenous studies. As a Land, Sea, Space and Air grant university, ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ fills a state and national need for research, teaching, service and outreach.

Unlike most research universities, ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ is proud to house a complete community and technical college that serves students who desire occupational endorsements, certificates and associate degrees. Truly, ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ is one of the few universities in the world where one can start with a 9-credit occupational endorsement and finish with a Ph.D.

ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ is proud of our rural campuses, four of which serve communities that cannot be reached by road. These campuses are integral parts of their communities and serve many students for whom a ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ education is the first college degree in the family.

I thank you for taking the time visit ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ on the web. I encourage you to learn more, take a tour, enroll in a class, participate in an event or engage with one of our more than 3,000 employees or more than 9,000 students who are making a difference for Alaska and the world.
