Introduction
Study natural science with access to the ultimate natural laboratory
Study biology and marine biology with access to the ultimate natural laboratory — Southeast Alaska's rich ocean environment. Incoming students learn biological principles and skills in lecture, laboratory, and field courses. They can then join our professors, researchers, and current students to work on projects that range from tracking humpback whale migrations to mapping the surface canopy of kelp. UAS's coastal classrooms and labs provide world class opportunities for unique hands-on learning experiences.
At Sitka WhaleFest science symposium and festival, students experience career inspiration and renewed motivation for STEM coursework at a critical juncture in their college careers.
Sitka WhaleFest is a 3-day annual marine science symposium and festival in Sitka, Alaska. Students attend engaging lectures and meet with presenting scientists in small group discussions and are matched with upper-division peer mentors during the event. Everyone participates in marine cruises and wildlife and cultural workshops, art and music events, a film festival, receptions, and a banquet.
