The 500 full-time and 2000 part-time student body make for small classes and a low student-to-faculty ratio. This ideal ratio offers a friendly, supportive staff, opportunities for active community involvement, and a pleasant and rewarding campus environment. With 16 percent Native American enrollment, UAS is broad-based with diverse perspectives and experiences to share. Classes in the Tlingit language, arts and culture, and studies of the Haida people (two dominant Native groups in Southeast Alaska) contribute to a culturally-rich learning experience. Proximity to federal agencies, state government, and city municipality along with an extensive social service network provides unique opportunities for internships, undergraduate research, and other career-related experiences.

The main campus is situated on the shore of Auke Lake facing the Mendenhall Glacier on one side, and Auke Bay and the Chilkat Mountain Range on the other. A mild maritime climate allows for year-round outdoor activities. Southeast Alaska's spectacular natural scenery and the cosmopolitan atmosphere combine to provide an educational experience unequaled elsewhere.
