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.

Born and raised in Fairbanks, Chelsea graduated from UAF in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in art, with a concentration in digital arts and a minor in marketing. She currently works for the new streaming service Peacock TV. Chelsea shared her insights on how students can carve their own path to success. 1) Pursue Opportunities Chelsea’s first piece of advice is to take chances with opportunities. Apply for everything, even if you think you won’t be accepted. Chelsea took a chance on an internship, which turned into her being recruited for a position at the company. Internships are not the only avenue to gain experience – it might be a semester abroad, taking a class out of your comfort zone, or volunteering in the community. Regardless of what you are pursuing, you have to put yourself out there and take a chance. 2) Self Advocate Being your own advocate is a skill that needs to be cultivated to accomplish your goals.
