Ilisagvik College

Ilisagvik College is the first of a projected five tribal colleges to be created in Alaska. It is located in Barrow and gained accreditation in 2003 with the Northwest Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities.

The college had its origins in 1986, when the North Slope Borough created the North Slope Higher Education Center. The name was changed in 1991 to Arctic Sivunmun Ilisagvik College, and in 1995 the borough passed an ordinance incorporating Ilisagvik College as a public and independent nonprofit corporation.

The two-year college serves the North Slope Borough and the Inupiat people, and is dedicated to strengthening Inupiat culture. It offers associate degrees in Arts and in Applied Sciences, and one-year certificates in a variety of trades.
