Vision:
Honoring Alaska’s Indigenous heritage, exemplifying excellence, and preparing paths.
Mission:
APU provides a world-class, hands-on, culturally responsive educational experience in collaboration with our students, communities, and tribal partners.
At APU, learning is a dialog and personal. Professors know students by name and learn from them while sharing their own gifts. Our program development, research and outreach are done in partnership with the communities we serve. Alaska’s Indigenous heritage and the value of Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing are also central to who we are and embedded within our education.
