Unique Academic Programs

• Alaska Native Studies - Alaska Native studies is a social science program that explores current and historical Alaska and broader circumpolar issues from the indigenous perspective. The curriculum grounds students in tribal histories and cultures, governmental policies and local Indigenous affairs. The program incorporates Native traditional knowledge, wisdom and experience into contemporary issues and studies. Classes focus on Indigenous Peoples in Law, Governance and Politics; Alaska Native Knowledge, Cultural Resources and Expression; and Alaska Native Peoples: Health, Wellness and Environment
• Arctic and Northern Studies - educates students about the opportunities, challenges, and issues related to the Arctic and circumpolar north. Students examine the common and distinctive features of the countries and regions of the Arctic and Circumpolar North, focusing on the human perspective. The program offers students broad flexibility of studies to include northern histories; political challenges in the North; international relations; environmental concerns; natural resource management; Indigenous cultures and Indigenous peoples’ concerns; and northern literature, arts, and humanities. The program draws from a number of fields, including anthropology, art, biology, geography, history, literature, political science, and more. The geographic location of UAF allows students to immerse themselves in a sub-Arctic environment while studying Northern issues. ACNS students benefit from the expertise and research experience of the faculty and from the comprehensive holdings of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections and Archives at the Rasmuson Library.
• Petroleum Engineering - We offer one of the most modern and challenging petroleum engineering degree programs anywhere in the world, in the state that’s home to the largest oil field in North America. It’s also the only petroleum engineering program in the United States that emphasizes the unique challenges found in the Arctic, which gives students a huge edge with employers in Alaska and throughout the North.
