About

Iḷisaġvik is Alaska's first and only federally recognized tribal college. The college was created in 1995 on the foundation of Iñupiaq cultural heritage, specifically subsistence culture and relationships with the land and sea. It is located in and serves America's largest and most northern municipality, the North Slope Borough. In 2003, Iḷisaġvik received accreditation from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.

Iḷisaġvik College offers both associate degrees (accounting, business services and management, emergency services, human services, Inupiaq studies, liberal arts, Indigenous early learning, allied health, office administration, and construction technology) and certificate programs (construction technology, emergency medical technician, entrepreneur/business, firefighting, accounting technician, business, medical coding, dental assistant, Inupiaq language, and Inupiaq fine arts).
