UAF Admissions
Welcomes You!
UAF Â鶹ąŮÍř
Â鶹ąŮÍř is where our curiosity comes alive. Get to know where your education can lead you. As a global leader in Arctic and climate research, UAF offers unparalleled opportunities to study in one of the world’s most dynamic environments.
Professionals with a master’s degree earned 20% more than those with a bachelor’s degree in 2022 (NCES). To help you make the most of your academic studies, UAF provides combined pathways for some bachelor's and master's degrees, where you'll earn both degrees in a shorter amount of time than it would take to earn both separately.
Proud to Be an Alaska Native-Serving
Institution (ANNH)
As the recipient of the ANNH award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
UAF is nationally recognized for our work serving local Alaska Native communities.
Our programs span from Inupiaq and Yup’ik languages, rural
development, tribal justice and energy sovereignty.

“Why I Chose UAF” — Brenna Scholten
Brenna, a justice major and Honors College member, says she enjoys not only the campus' many activities but also its friendly vibe.
"I feel like UAF fosters that kind of intention," she says. "So then the people who come here see that, and then they also behave that way."
Brenna, whose mother was Inupiaq, says UAF's Rural Student Services office is especially welcoming for students like her. "It smells like your grandma's home," she says. "They always have like Native food. They always have akutaq or moose soup."
We understand that college is likely the first large investment you'll make for your future. UAF's Financial Aid Office is here to guide you along the way.
