Northwest Community College was created by an act of the state legislature in 1976, when the college first began offering classes.
In 1987, the college became a branch of the University of Alaska Fairbanks and was renamed UAF Northwest Campus. Though now affiliated with a preeminent research institution, Northwest Campus maintains its community college mission: to provide excellent opportunities for academic, vocational and community education to the people of the Bering Strait region.
