About This Campus
Because of its natural beauty & abundant bounty, the southeastern Alaskan city of Juneau has been the home to Native American fisherman, European fur traders, & American gold prospectors for centuries. Now a free-spirited state capital, Juneau is the perfect base for a journey into the gorgeous Alaskan wilderness. UAS is ideally located on the shores of Auke Lake within a mile of the Mendenhall Glacier & the Tongass National Forest. In the opposite direction is the coastline of the Pacific’s Inside Passage & snow capped mountains of Glacier Bay. The advantage is a spectacular environmental laboratory, a rich native culture, & an intimate learning community. Recreational activities include hiking, camping, boating, fishing, snowboarding, skiing, ice skating, rock & ice climbing, glacier travel & more. Academics are personable & purposeful with low faculty to student ratios & strong intercultural connections. "Everything else pales in comparison to Alaska." -John MuirLocation Information
