University of Alaska Southeast

What is the cost of studying for a year at University of Alaska Southeast?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled $8,936 for Alaska residents and $24,840 for nonresidents. Those sums combine tuition with required fees; they are not complete annual cost-of-attendance estimates.

• Alaska-resident undergraduate tuition: $7,250; required fees: $1,686.
• Nonresident undergraduate tuition: $23,154; required fees: $1,686.
• Reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $258 per credit for residents and $824 per credit for nonresidents, before applicable fees.

Students must also budget for housing and food, books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses. Those amounts depend substantially on whether a student lives on campus, commutes locally, or travels to Southeast Alaska. Graduate tuition differs from undergraduate tuition, and course or program charges can change an individual bill.

Published charges are not the same as net price after grants and scholarships. For example, the reported average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $6,799. That is an average for a defined income group, not a quoted price for an applicant. An individualized aid offer and current housing and meal-plan rates are necessary for a usable personal budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at University of Alaska Southeast?

UAS students can seek part-time employment while enrolled, including campus jobs when positions are available. Federal Work-Study is distinct from ordinary student employment: it is need-based financial aid for eligible students, and an award establishes potential earnings rather than paying the full amount upfront.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the financial-aid application process and ask which positions accept that funding. Other campus jobs may not require a Work-Study award. In either case, students generally need to apply for an opening, be hired, and work the assigned hours to receive wages.

For longer-term career planning, reported UAS services include individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, interview support, career-interest resources, job listings, and employer events. These services can help students explore internships or employment, but their availability is not a placement guarantee and an internship is not required of every student.
