The University of Alaska Southeast is a public university with its main campus in Juneau, Alaska, United States, and extended campuses in Sitka and Ketchikan.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $7,233/year average net price and only $10,500 in median debt, this is one of the more affordable public university options you'll find, which matters. However, the 31% graduation rate is a serious red flag — most students who start here don't finish — and median earnings of $39,500 a decade out suggest limited career momentum even for those who do. Worth considering only if you have a specific reason to be in Southeast Alaska (outdoor studies, indigenous affairs, or staying close to home) and a clear plan to stay on track.
