关于我们

The university system started as the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines in Fairbanks, later renamed the University of Alaska. That first year, the campus was a single two-story frame building and had just six students. The school was renamed the University of Alaska in 1935. In 1954, Anchorage Community College (now known as the University of Alaska Anchorage) was incorporated into the University of Alaska. That next year, Juneau Community College was established and was later named the University of Alaska Southeast. The UA system’s largest hubs (UAA, UAF and UAS) are separately accredited institutions, as is Prince William Sound Community College in Valdez. System-wide, nearly 33,000 full- and part-time students are enrolled, studying among 500 unique degree, certificate or endorsement programs. Study areas include short-course workforce training, associate degrees, bachelor’s and master’s degrees, as well as doctorates. Programs include a wide array of the sciences, engineering, teacher and early childhood education, business, journalism and communications, aviation, health occupations, history, English, the arts and humanities and many others. Per the Alaska Constitution, an 11-member board of regents governs the system. The system president serves as the board’s chief executive officer. Chancellors for each of the hubs—UAA, UAF and UAS--report to the president.

    Honoring Dr. Paul Layer’s Career at UA After 35 years of service, Dr. Paul Layer is retiring as Vice President for Academics, Students, and Research. From his early days as an assistant professor of geophysics to serving as a department chair, dean, and ultimately VP/CAO, Dr. Layer has made an extraordinary impact on the University of Alaska System. At the recent Board of Regents meeting, Dr. Layer, joined by his wife, was honored with a resolution of appreciation for his many contributions, including: ?? Established UA’s 40-Argon/39-Argon geochronology lab, advancing volcanic and tectonic research. ?? Led annual Brooks Range field trips, inspiring hands-on learning for geoscience students. ?? Hosted Friday night gatherings at the UAF pub, building community one conversation at a time. Thank you, Paul Layer, for your dedication, leadership, and the countless ways you’ve strengthened UA. Wishing you a retirement filled with family, adventures, and Miata rides! ?? We put together a highlight album of Paul's years at UAF and UA. Enjoy! (First 7 photos: UAF, final photo: UA)

    Today, we honor Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Alaska’s Indigenous people and communities have thrived on the lands where our universities and research sites reside since time immemorial. We recognize the deep roots of these lands to Indigenous ancestral heritage, wisdom, beauty, and accomplishments. At UA, we have integrated Alaska’s first peoples into every facet of our operations. We’re excited to share the 2024 Alaska Native Success Initiative (ANSI) Annual Report later this week, featuring student resources, expanded support services, Indigenous languages taught at our universities, and more. Join us in reflecting on the importance of advancing ANSI and creating welcoming, inclusive spaces for everyone. Attend one of the Indigenous Peoples Day events linked below to celebrate together.
