Active Learning

Alaska Pacific University has a distinctive educational philosophy. We believe that how you learn is as important as what you learn. The educational agenda includes:

• self-direction--conceptualizing and carrying out your own work
• integration--combining your understanding of different subjects
• collaboration--working with others
• ethical action--becoming a practical idealist.

This kind of learning goes beyond the conventional classroom and the traditional format of lecture and examination. Therefore, learning at Alaska Pacific includes some non-traditional features designed to enhance the development of these skills, essential to leading a successful personal and professional life.

During your time at Alaska Pacific, you will learn to take more and more of your education into your own hands. This process culminates in the Senior Project, but before you get to your senior year, you will be consistently learning the skills involved in doing a project or a directed study and doing it well. In this process, the faculty will be supporting you (listening to your goals, helping you to shape plans, and evaluating your work), but also challenging you to do your very best work and to look at things from fresh perspectives.

In your first year, much of your study will be done in structured classes (often these classes will contain individual and group projects). Throughout your course of undergraduate study, however, you will design larger parts of your education through Directed Study, until the process culminates with your Senior Project.
