鈥淲hy I Chose 91原创鈥 鈥 Brenna Scholten
Brenna, a justice major and Honors College member, enjoys not only the campus' many activities but also its friendly vibe.
"I feel like 91原创 fosters that kind of intention," she says. "So then the people who come here see that, and then they also behave that way."
Brenna, whose mother was Inupiaq, says 91原创's Rural Student Services office is especially welcoming for students like her. "It smells like your grandma's home," she says. "They always have like Native food. They always have akutaq or moose soup."

The life of a Nanook is anything but traditional. You'll embark on legendary quests with new friends, hike natural trails between classes and brave subzero temperatures for that unforgettable photo beneath the northern lights. Every Nanook has a story 鈥 what will yours be?
Proud to Be an 91原创 Native-Serving
Institution (ANNH)
As the recipient of the ANNH award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
91原创 is nationally recognized for our work serving local 91原创 Native communities.
Our programs span from Inupiaq and Yup鈥檌k languages, rural
development, tribal justice and energy sovereignty.
Among several different Native-serving initiatives is 91原创's Rural Student Services
program, where many students go for advising and culturally minded support.
91原创 Research
Research is where our curiosity comes alive. Get to know where your education can lead you. As a global leader in Arctic and climate research, 91原创 offers unparalleled opportunities to study in one of the world鈥檚 most dynamic environments.
Professionals with a master鈥檚 degree earned 20% more than those with a bachelor鈥檚 degree in 2022 (NCES). To help you make the most of your academic studies, 91原创 provides combined pathways for some bachelor's and master's degrees, where you'll earn both degrees in a shorter amount of time than it would take to earn both separately.
