The University of Alaska Southeast (UAS), located in Juneau, Alaska's scenic capital, offers a distinctive combination of academic programs set against a backdrop of breathtaking natural landscapes. Founded in 1972 through a merger of Southeastern Senior College at Juneau and Ketchikan Community College, UAS focuses on areas of study tailored to the environmental and cultural needs of the region, including marine biology, environmental science, and Alaska Native studies. The campus is characterized by its intimate learning environment and a low student-to-faculty ratio, which promotes personal attention and mentorship. UAS presents a moderately selective admissions process, accepting a broad range of applicants while maintaining an emphasis on academic achievement. Student housing is available on campus, providing residential options within close proximity to academic buildings and the greater Juneau area. The university is not widely known for its athletic programs, thus allowing it to concentrate its resources on advancing educational opportunities and distinctive programs that capitalize on its unique geographic location.

University of Alaska Southeast has an open admission policy which permits enrollment by any high school graduate or GED holding student.  531 students are enrolled on a full time basis, and 1,392 attend part time. In-state tuition for 2022/2023, excluding room and board, is $5,616 plus fees of $1,344.
