The Interior Alaska Campus (IAC) at University of Alaska Fairbanks offers programs and support services to meet the unique needs of rural Alaskans. All our programs are bound by a common thread: to be community driven and culturally responsive.
IAC works with villages, tribal governments and community employers to identify workforce needs and provide relevant education — opportunities such as our Construction Trades Technology, Content Creators and Wildland Fire Science programs.
Communities and students are our top priority. Whether you’re interested in taking a single course or completing a degree, you’ll find that our faculty and advisors are here to work with you one-on-one every step of your journey and make sure you have all the tools to succeed.
Choose a program that matches your goals. We offer everything from certificates and occupational endorsements to associate degrees. Or, just take a course or two that strikes your interest.
While most of our students take courses online — using applications like Canvas and Zoom — we also bring face-to-face classes to communities in the region. Many courses offered are by request and focus on local workforce needs in fields such as:
- Art
- Business
- Computer information systems
- Construction trades
- Emergency medical services
- Tribal governance
IAC also provides dual credit and technical training classes that enable high school students to complete course requirements and receive college credits at the same time. Non-credit classes, such as food storage and preparation training and certified flagging, are also available.
