Biology and Wildlife
in Alaska!
UAF students and faculty scientists share Alaska's 360-million acre biology and wildlife classroom to study everything from polar bears and caribou to brain tissue and microscopic mushrooms.
UAF has a strong pioneer spirit that inspires creativity, builds character and encourages teamwork. Our unique, and sometimes challenging, environment is a changing and exciting place. Our small-college atmosphere and low student-faculty ratio give UAF a family feeling and the opportunity for extensive personal attention.
The Department of Biology and Wildlife at the University of Alaska Fairbanks offers graduate and undergraduate degrees and educational opportunities in a broad range of subdisciplines.
Biological Sciences - B.S. and B.A. degree programs provide students with broad training in fields from cell and molecular biology to global ecological processes.
Wildlife Biology - The B.S. degree prepares students for careers with state and federal agencies responsible for the management of wild animal populations.
M.S. Biology and Ph.D. Biological Sciences - These programs provide opportunities for advanced study in Alaska's wilderness as well as our state-of-the-art laboratory facilities. Our graduate students go on to careers at state and federal agencies, schools, colleges, universities, and private research organizations.
