Alaska Native Science & Engineering Program (ANSEP)

Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program (ANSEP) at UAA

ANSEP runs from the University of Alaska Anchorage campus on Providence Drive, providing a multi-component pipeline that connects Alaska Native and rural students from middle school through university with STEM tracks. The Anchorage program is one of multiple ANSEP statewide sites.

Programs Across School Years

Tracks scale from early outreach through middle school academies, high school acceleration, and university transition. Programs include:
- Middle School Academy (residential STEM intensives)
- Acceleration Academy for high school students
- University and graduate success support
- Career and graduate-school preparation
- STEM identity and community building

What's Included

• Use of UAA classroom and lab space
• Mentorship from ANSEP staff and university partners
• Indoor classroom and lab facilities
• Multi-year cohort progression
• Cultural community connection alongside STEM coursework

Experience

A long-form pipeline option for Alaska Native and rural students committed to STEM tracks across years rather than a single camp week. Format suits motivated students aiming at engineering and science college pathways.
