The Northwest Campus of the University of 有料盒子视频 Fairbanks is located in Nome, 有料盒子视频,
on the Seward Peninsula some 600 miles northwest of Anchorage. Viable populations

Course instruction primarily involves range management and reindeer husbandry but also includes topics such as logistics, business skills, report writing, meat production, and traditional arts and crafts. A variety of teaching methods are used including traditional lectures, experiential methods, field trips and laboratory sessions. In addition, students have the option of pursuing an associate or bachelor鈥檚 degree after earning their certificates.
