Alaska Pacific University’s Master of Arts Program (MAP) is designed for experienced, professional, adult students who know what they want to study and will learn more in a mentored, project-based master’s degree program than they would in a classroom-based program.  The MAP is also designed to give working professionals maximum flexibility to:

• Design a customized program of individually mentored studies and projects
• Work at your own pace
• Set your own hours
• Use projects in the workplace as part of your graduate program
• Pursue your own academic area of interest

The MAP is demanding but incredibly rewarding.  Often, MAP students pick topics that are fresh and cutting-edge in areas in which they have prior experience or backgrounds.  However, the MAP can also be a very effective way to take a new direction, to change careers, or to develop a specialty.  It is a highly independent program that allows the student to customize their experience.
