SOU has always been popular with prospective students from Alaska. Situated at the elevation of 2000 feet in the cradle of the Siskiyou and Cascade Mountain ranges, we offer a fresh, outdoor mountain climate together with the stimulation of a first rate liberal arts university and culturally dynamic town. Winter sports abound on 7,500 foot Mt. Ashland, located a half hour away from campus where you'll find downhill skiing, cross-country skiing and snowboarding. And 14,000 foot Mt. Shasta, the second highest mountain in the Cascade Range, is only an hour away!
Students from Alaska may be eligible for the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) Scholarship Program - which saves you thousands of dollars a year in tuition!
Our students are successful. Thousands of SOU alumni throughout the world are thriving as civic and business leaders, educators, doctors, scientists, attorneys, and creative visionaries. When our students and alumni talk about SOU, many say what they value in the education they received here is their relationships with professors who became their advisors and mentors.
