Fisheries Technology Program
Start your career in fisheries today!
Two program offerings
The program offers a Certificate in Fisheries Technology as well as an Associate of Applied Science in Fisheries Technology degree.
Distance delivered classes
Better yet, you can also earn a degree or certificate in fisheries from the comfort of your own home, via distance delivered classes. Not only does this allow you to take classes without moving, it also allows you to work in the fisheries field, wherever that may be, and get the education you need to advance in your job.
Although the Fisheries Technology Program is distance delivered, both the Certificate and AAS are listed as being "available by distance delivery to students within the state of Alaska" in the UAS Academic Catalog.
Job Availability
Jobs availability in the fisheries workforce is good. Right now there is a shortage of fisheries technicians and fisheries biologists in the State of Alaska, a trend predicted to continue for at least the next 10 years. This program can help you get the education you need to opbtain one of the many jobs currently open in this field.
