Students from all parts of Alaska, the United States, and the world are attracted to Alaska’s grandeur and Alaska Pacific University’s philosophy of Active Learning.
You will become a part of a high-spirited campus community engaged in adventure, service to the world, and project based learning. Small classes, led by teachers focused on each student’s learning, allow you to investigate issues in a hands-on, active approach to learning.
Alaska Pacific University is above the ordinary in more than latitude.
We’re a place for activists and idealists—a place for hands-on learners who want their education to escape the confines of the conventional classroom—a place for students who do not want to be just a number.
Our program is designed to be student-centered.
Active Learning, personal attention, small faculty-taught courses, the block and session system, journeys, travel courses, the Eco League, and the Senior Project make the student experience uniquely meaningful. Campus life is vibrant and varied, and there are numerous activities that open the door to Alaska adventure for all students.
This spirit of adventure and challenge exists in all our majors and academic departments.
