While it is not required, we still recommend meeting with an advisor before registering for College of Indigenous Studies classes. They’ll help you choose courses that best fit your interests and degree path.

If you live in one of the regions covered by our rural campuses, you can reach out to any advisor at the campus that serves your community. Our advisors can support you with all UAF distance degrees, certificates, Occupational Endorsement programs, and individual courses. If you know you are interested in a specific bachelor's, master's, or Ph.D. program, you should contact our undergraduate and graduate advisors. Still unsure? Reach out to uaf-cis-advising@alaska.edu to connect with our entire team and find the right person. 

College of Indigenous Studies offers a full spectrum of degree offerings from occupational endorsements to the fastest-growing Ph.D program at UAF. Our degree pathways give students the opportunity to grow with CIS and map their education journey from start to finish. 

Ask your advisor about the College of Indigenous Studies Degree pathways.
