The School of Management Experience
The University of Alaska Fairbanks School of Management is dedicated to providing high-quality business education in Alaska through a unique, active and experiential learning environment. With small class sizes, dedicated and approachable faculty and many opportunities for students to connect with the local community and professionals in their fields, SOM prepares broadly-educated professionals with a wealth of hands-on experience.

Think outside the classroom
What sets SOM apart from other schools are the extensive opportunities available for hands-on learning experiences beyond the classroom that prepare students for professional success. Students help run SOM’s major events, are encouraged to join at least one of the many SOM student organizations, and are funded for travel opportunities to conferences, competitions and career-focused trips.
Connect to community
SOM provides numerous opportunities for students to connect with local businesses and the greater Fairbanks community. Class projects are aimed toward helping local businesses, and events such as the KPMG Spring Etiquette Seminar and Dinner are held annually to allow students to interact directly with professionals in their fields.
Accreditation means quality
The UAF School of Management and its accounting program are simultaneously accredited through the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International. This highly sought after dual accreditation has only been achieved by 1.5% of AACSB universities worldwide and UAF is the only university in Alaska with this distinction.

Two of our SOM instructors have returned to the classroom, but they are not teaching.

Amy is enrolled in the University of Missouri-St. Louis Doctor of Business Administration program and Kim is in the Executive Doctor of Business Administration program at Pepperdine University. This is made possible by funding from the Jim Pruitt Endowed Chair gift. It is a great example of growing our own and adding more Ph.D.-qualified instructors to our team, which is essential for AACSB accreditation. Amy and Kim share what it’s like to turn the tables and become a student again. Tell us about the Ph.D. program in which you are enrolled. If you have a thesis selected, please share.
