The University of Alaska Anchorage has a couple programs which have a standard of excellence above and beyond their other programs. These are the nursing program and the airtraffic control program. I have heard both these programs described in terms of high standards. The nursing program is so popular, entry into this degree is very competitive. Besides academics, UAA is known for its sports teams. At UAA, a student can combine academics and sports into their university life.

The University of Alaska Anchorage has many great degree programs to choose from. Most of the teachers really know what they are talking about and it is great to hear their experiences when it comes to the topic being discussed. There is also a sense of community there.
