Where you'll learn.
Wilderness surrounds Fairbanks, yet highways, airlines, fiber and satellites firmly connect it to the world. So you can attend and earn your degree online from anywhere.
In Fairbanks, you’ll find the Troth Yeddha’ Campus, the UAF Community and Technical College and the Interior ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ Campus. Beyond, regional campuses serve Kotzebue, Bethel, Nome and Dillingham. Research sites can take you to Kodiak in the south, Juneau in the east and Toolik Lake above the Arctic Circle.
News and events
Read about the gift of a gold collection to the museum, students seeking new mining methods and a professor's book about the murder convictions — ultimately dismissed — of the Fairbanks Four. Plus, watch a video about a Ph.D. student who studies the aurora.
