The College of Engineering and Mines at the University of Alaska Fairbanks has been educating engineering students since 1922 when the school was founded as the Alaska Agriculture College and School of Mines. Over the years, students from around the world have pursued their engineering degree with us, taking advantage of the opportunity to learn one-on-one from outstanding faculty in the unique environment of Interior Alaska. UAF is Alaska’s top teaching and research university, but our classroom environments in engineering and mines are more like what you would find at a small college. UAF is the only university in Alaska that offers six undergraduate degrees fully-accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. In addition the College of Engineering and Mines offers 14 graduate degree programs for undergraduates wishing to continue their studies after receiving their baccalaureate degree.
