UAF Chukchi Campus

UAF Chukchi Campus No modern road system connects the villages to each other In 1971, the University of Alaska established a “rural education center” in Kotzebue.

Based in the community of Kotzebue, Chukchi Campus serves eleven communities amid more than 36,000 square miles of spectacular mountain and tundra wilderness known as the Northwest Arctic Borough. By 1978, the University of Alaska Board of Regents had established Chukchi Community College. In 1987, the newly named Chukchi Campus became a branch of the University of Alaska Fairbanks. No modern road system connects the villages to each other or to the outside world. The population of the Northwest Arctic Borough is 7,300, of which over 82% are Iñupiaq. The pursuit of a traditional way of life and the commitment to subsistence living are driving forces behind most of the residents. At the same time, western higher education is becoming increasingly crucial to the region’s future. Residents recognize the need for an appropriate balance between the increasing presence of western institutions and the preservation of Iñupiat traditions.
