We make it possible for adult students anywhere in Alaska to earn college degrees while living and working in their home communities.
We respect the complex and busy lives of our students, and strive to make our online, distance education program culturally responsive, personal, engaging, and manageable.
We envision an Alaska strengthened by leaders who have benefited from the educational opportunities that excellent online education can provide.
We are dedicated to the idea that Alaska communities can grow their own professionals.
RANA stands for access to high quality online education:
Rural - for those living in rural communities; Alaska - for those residing anywhere in Alaska; Native - for Alaska Natives and others respectful of Native cultures;
Adult - so working adults can reach their professional goals.
