ECONOMIC ENGINES
Natural resources and extraction industries are the economic engines that created much of Alaska鈥檚 economic wealth over the last fifty years. The University relies on these and others to provide jobs for graduates and collaborates with resource development companies on research, pilot projects, and other efforts. Former University students work in oil, gas, mining, and projects in engineering, surveying, environmental, and operational positions.
STRATEGIC AND COST-EFFECTIVE MATERIAL SITES
The University works with local contractors and the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities providing strategic and cost-effective material sites that enable continued maintenance and expansion of Alaska鈥檚 critical transportation system.
