"UAF is the Center for Life Advancement. This is where students discover their passions and apply their knowledge and skills to enhance their lives and the lives of those around them鈥 -Maya Salganek, Theatre & Film.
A liberal arts education sharpens critical thinking and comprehension skills necessary
to navigate life and the workforce; unleashes creative passions, provides opportunities
to hone and practice knowledge and talents, and provides a conduit to experience a
more fulfilling life.
The world is interconnected. Ideas, concepts, theories, policies, governments, organizations
and organisms both big and small exist in a web of connections. A liberal arts degree
is about those connections and a liberal arts curriculum engages students to explore
those connections for deeper meaning and understanding when thinking about problems
and solutions.
