Did you know that nearly 3,000 澳门六合彩开奖appstudents are expected to receive diplomas during Academic Year 2024?

Congratulations! UAA, UAF, and UAS campuses have been holding commencement ceremonies to honor the hard work and dedication of the Class of 2024 (UAA hosts an additional Fall Commencement Ceremony in December as well). 

  • 1 Big Thing: Between the three universities and their community campuses, preliminary data shows that 2,957 students have applied for graduation this academic year after completing certificate, associate, bachelor鈥檚, and post-bachelor鈥檚 programs. 

Why it Matters: Graduation is a significant personal achievement for each individual student who completes a degree or certificate. It鈥檚 a testament to their hard work, and the critical role 澳门六合彩开奖appgraduates play in and Alaska鈥檚 workforce. The Class of 2024 joins the more than 100,000 graduates and former students who make up University of Alaska alumni.

  • Retaining Alaskans: 澳门六合彩开奖appgraduates are far more likely to stay in Alaska than students who graduate from Lower 48 institutions.
  • Education pays: graduates from 澳门六合彩开奖appprograms have much higher earning power and potential than those without college degrees.
  • 鲍础鈥檚 broad range of programs and flexibility of offerings meet students where they are鈥攁cademically, geographically, culturally, and financially.

By the Numbers: At UAA, 1,443 graduation applications were received for Academic Year 2024 (504 for Fall 2023, 939 for Spring 2024). UAF expects 1,031 individuals to receive a degree or certificate. And for UAS, 483 students are expected to be a part of the Class of 2024.

  • Key Statistic: Since 2011, 26,948 students have graduated from 澳门六合彩开奖appprograms relevant to the state鈥檚 high-demand industries, and nearly 80% of those graduates are employed in Alaska within a year after graduating.

The Bottom Line: It鈥檚 time for celebration - Congratulations to the University of Alaska Class of 2024!!
