Alaska Pacific offers a distinctive form of study, one that extends respect, freedom and responsibility to students. Our premise is that today's students need and deserve an active education to prepare them for a dynamic and rapidly changing world. A modern university, therefore, should teach students to think for themselves, to set their own goals and accomplish them, and to work creatively and effectively with others.
Alaska Pacific University's distinctive form of education results in graduates who have the advantages of a liberal arts education, a pre-professional education, and leadership education, all delivered in an integrated process of active learning.
