Alaska is a land of diverse languages and cultures. One of these languages is Central Alaskan Yup'ik, which is part of the Yupik branch of the Eskimo-Aleut language family, spoken in western and southwestern Alaska. The bachelor's degree in Yup'ik language and culture at UAF is the only program of its kind in the world. It offers a unique opportunity not only to learn the language, but to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for Alaska Native people and the Yup'ik way of life. One of the opportunities you'll have in this program is to work with linguists at the Alaska Native Language Center, internationally known and recognized as the major center in the United States for the study of Eskimo and Northern Athabascan languages. You'll also get to access materials at the Alaska Native Language Archive, the premier repository worldwide for information relating to the Native languages of Alaska.
