Each of these colleges offers students the opportunity to further their education with a variety of courses. The Alaska Vocational Technical Center provides students with the opportunity to pursue vocational and technical training in areas such as health care, business, construction trades, and more. University of Alaska Anchorage offers students the chance to pursue degrees in fields such as accounting, engineering, nursing, and social work.

These activities include student clubs and organizations that help students network with other students and faculty members while engaging in meaningful dialogue about current events. With the help of faculty advisors and counselors these community colleges provide a great opportunity for those looking for an affordable education in Alaska without having to sacrifice quality or resources available to their students.
