ECONOMIC ENGINES

Natural resources and extraction industries are the economic engines that created much of Alaska’s economic wealth over the last fifty years. The University relies on these and others to provide jobs for graduates and collaborates with resource development companies on research, pilot projects, and other efforts. Former University students work in oil, gas, mining, and projects in engineering, surveying, environmental, and operational positions.
