Academics
The School of Education prepares students from across Alaska, as well as from other states and nations, to work effectively with all students including multicultural and minority students. To fulfill our commitment to enhancing educational opportunities for the state's rural and Native populations, faculty actively and knowledgeably utilize educational technology to deliver all School of Education programs to remote places.

CACREP accreditation requires a minimum of three core faculty members having graduated from Counselor Education and Supervision Ph.D. programs. In Academic Year 2021-2022, the Counseling Program fell below the required number of core faculty members.
