About UAF

UAF has seven campuses across the state, and its 11,034 students come from all 50 states and from 47 foreign countries. Faculty teach classes at every level, so you can build relationships with professors right from the start. Undergraduates make up 89 percent of the total student body, and a lot of students are nontraditional -- they've returned to school to start a new phase of their life.

The Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines opened in 1922, in 1935 became the University of Alaska, and started offering PhDs in 1959. It's still the only university in the state that awards doctoral degrees, and it's one of the few Land, Sea and Space Grant universities in the country.

UAF has great classes, great teachers and great experiences. It is, after all, in the Great Land. Is it for you?
