The University of Alaska Fairbanks

The School of Natural Resources & Agricultural Sciences (SNRAS) along with the Agricultural & Forestry Experiment Station offer a world-class learning and research environment to both undergraduate and graduate students. Undergraduate courses are augmented by such learning experiences as the field course in resource management, internships, and the senior thesis project.

The school consists of four academic departments:
- Forest Sciences,
- Geography,
- Plant, Animal, & Soil Sciences,
- Resources Management.
Together, the departments provide teaching, research, and outreach activities that promote the successful long-term management of Alaska's natural resources.

  • The Agricultural & Forestry Experiment Station (AFES) operates experiment farms and research sites in Fairbanks, Delta Junction, and Palmer.
  • The Bonanza Creek Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) conducts ecological research at the Bonanza Creek site and Caribou-Poker Creeks Research Watershed sites.
  • The Forest Soils Lab, located in Fairbanks, supports the research efforts of faculty and students by making available state of the art analytical instrumentation to better understand Alaskan soil and vegetation properties.
  • The Reindeer Research Program has been conducting research to help develop and promote Alaska's reindeer herding industry since 1981.
