College of Liberal Arts
A liberal arts education doesn’t point you in just one direction, it opens doors. At UAF’s College of Liberal Arts, students build the skills to think critically, communicate clearly, and adapt to a changing world. Our alumni are writers, researchers, advocates, artists, and leaders, shaping communities near and far. Explore their stories and see where a liberal arts degree can take you.
“UAF has given me more than just a degree or education. This program challenged me, inspired me, and helped me to grow into the musician and person that I am today.â€Evelina Savonin ’25, M.Mu., Music Performance
"The biggest lesson that I learned with UAF is that healing and education can go together. The classes that I took in social work expanded my knowledge on the people that have gone through harsh experiences in their life... It's going to allow me to help others that have also experienced hard times and show them change is possible."Danelle Shellikoff ’25, B.A. Social Work
"It is strange to look back and think about the exact moments when our lives changed, but my first philosophy class was one of them. It was a place where I made awesome friends that I’ve now had throughout my UAF and Fairbanks life, and found a discipline I felt a connection to and had passion in."Andy Witteman ’24, B.A. Philosophy
