Points of Pride

1. UAF is the farthest North university in the United States, less than 200 miles south of the Arctic Circle.

2. UAF is a friendly campus, home to established programs that support LGBTQ+ students, first-gen college students, low-income students, and students from military families.

3. UAF is home to the only university-owned rocket launch site in the world, as well as the world's only research herd of muskoxen. UAF Engineering students regularly collaborate with NASA at Poker Flat Research Range. While UAF Wildlife Biology and Conservation majors get hands-on experience working with herds of muskoxen and reindeer at the Large Animal Research Station on campus.
