Early Honors Dual Credit
The Early Honors Program (EHP) at APU is a full-time, dual-credit program for high school seniors seeking to get a head start on college. EHP students engage in actual college-level coursework, have the option to live on campus, and if successful, will graduate high school as college sophomores. Applicants admitted to the EHP may also be granted automatic full admission to the undergraduate program of their choice* upon the successful completion of the EHP.
Alaska Native Executive Leadership
Alaska Native Executive Leadership Program began as a partnership between APU, Afognak Native Corporation, Bristol Bay Native Corporation, Chugach Alaska Corporation, The Aleut Corporation, and CIRI. It is a unique graduate certificate program designed to provide students with in-depth knowledge in key functional business areas and accelerate the careers of high-potential leaders.
Non-Degree Seeking
Still undecided? APU’s Non-Degree Seeking admissions option is the perfect choice for those interested in taking classes without seeking full admission to a degree program. Students who complete courses under this status will still receive credit that may be transferred to other colleges or universities.
