How do we optimize our statewide system to achieve our goals for higher education in Alaska?
The University of Alaska’s Strategic Pathways framework addresses the many challenges facing our university. Each main campus – Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau—will focus research and teaching on its unique set of strengths, capabilities, advantages and opportunities.

The University of Alaska is committed to serving and meeting the educational needs
of our state. Those needs are met through research and creative activities, teaching
and learning, outreach and services to the public. We have a done a great job over
the years, but gaps remain that require our focused attention.
Now, more than ever, as our economy experiences historic transitions and our state’s
budget is reduced, we must find ways to serve our important purpose as cost effectively
as possible. Strategic Pathways is the framework UA is using to improve our services.
It is based on the fact that each of our universities has unique strengths in meeting
the state’s needs and the reality that each campus cannot be everything to everyone.
We are reviewing our major academic programs and administrative services to create
a more sustainable university with more diverse revenue sources. During this process
we seek quality, access, and cost effectiveness while we grow in service to our state
at this critical time in our history.
