Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines renamed University of Alaska
In 1922, The Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines was founded. The College grew quickly, and in 1935 became the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
By the time Alaska became a state in 1959, students could earn Ph.Ds at the university, and UAF remains the only campus in the state that awards doctoral degrees.
