Welcome

The Department of Anthropology at UAF is the only anthropology program in the United States that maintains a holistic approach to circumpolar studies, providing instruction and research in all aspects of northern anthropology, with a major emphasis on Alaska and the Russian North. UAF Anthropology offers programs leading to a BA, BS, MA, and PhD. We publish an internationally recognized, refereed journal, the Anthropological Papers of the University of Alaska. UAF was recently home to the secretariat of the International Arctic Social Sciences Association.

We have more than 70 undergraduate majors and 50 graduate students, and serve over 900 students per year. The department offers approximately 40 courses each year.

Please browse our web site to learn more about the Department of Anthropology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. 


See and read about Rainey Cabin, a historic building on the UAF campus that is integral not only to the history of the Anthropology Department, but to the history of UAF's prominence in arctic and norhtern research.
