The University of Alaska Anchorage is going to award its first doctorate degrees next week. The Ph.D.s in Clinical Psychology will go to two students in a program administered jointly by UAA and the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Mike Driscoll is UAA’s provost. He says it took the university at least four years to make the accreditation change.
