University of Alaska Anchorage is something of a "best kept secret" for international students. Advantages include:
- A non - competitive and relatively simple admission process, no recommendations, essays, or interviews for undergraduate students
- Low tuition rates relative to most public U.S. universities (approximately $12,600 tuition and fees for one academic year)
- An ESL program beginning at the intermediate level (TOEFL IBT 40-45) for which students earn 100 level credit that can be used to fulfill elective requirements
- A community college division offering associate degrees
- Abundant on-campus jobs available
- Excellent internship and optional practical training opportunities in the area
- All of the majors you would expect to find at a public university
- A "Welcome Package" to help students settle into university housing, if they choose to live on campus
- A very active and vibrant International Student Association
- Anchorage is the third-most diverse city in the U.S. and welcomes foreigners with open arms
- The adventure that is Alaska!
Anchorage, where UAA is located, is the most temperate city in Alaska - no igloos or polar bears here! To address that issue, we have created a Facebook site that includes 100s of photos of our campus and the surrounding area, as well as a brand new video campus tour featuring current international students. The video is also available on YouTube. There are also photos of International Student Association activities and announcements for upcoming events.
Please take a moment took check out our Facebook site. Find the site by searching for "International Student Services, University of Alaska Anchorage." Please become a fan and feel free to link to the site any way you like.
Students can find complete admission information on our International Student Services web site at http://www.uaa.alaska.edu/iss.
