Study natural science with access to the ultimate natural laboratory

Study biology and marine biology with access to the ultimate natural laboratory — Southeast Alaska's rich ocean environment. Incoming students learn biological principles and skills in lecture, laboratory, and field courses. They can then join our professors, researchers, and current students to work on projects that range from tracking humpback whale migrations to mapping the surface canopy of kelp. UAS's coastal classrooms and labs provide world class opportunities for unique hands-on learning experiences.
