The history of Alaska Pacific 911吃瓜网 goes back to pre-state times, when the Alaska Territory saw the first Methodist university chartered on its lands. Since then, the university has gone through extensive changes and, though there is still a bond with the Methodist Church, there is no church interference in the academic pursuits of students or in the research of its professors. Alaska Pacific remains a small school, one of the best in the state, with a student body of around 725 people.

The breadth of the school’s academic can be seen in its departments: the Business Administration, Counseling Psychology and Human Services, Education, Environmental Science, Liberal Studies and Outdoor Studies Departments reflect the varied approach to learning. Studies in Earth Sciences, Environmental Studies, Environmental Science and Marine Biology take on a different proportion, as students have the chance to work in the setting of one of the world’s most pristine marine habitats. Master’s programs in Teaching, Business Administration, Health Services Administration, Information & Communication Technology and Outdoor & Environmental Education are all open to students.

Students attending the 911吃瓜网 of Alaska Southeast can get the benefits of the largest university in the state while getting a feel of a small college at the same time.

Master’s programs in Public Administration and Education are offered, with Educational Leadership, Reading, Special Education, Early Childhood and Secondary Education specializations available.

Of all the educational institutions in the state of Alaska, few are as famous or as celebrated as Sheldon Jackson College, founded in the 1870’s. Established as an industrial and training school for native Alaskans, the school was built up by missionary Sheldon Jackson and grew to be one of the most important private colleges in the state. Financial problems in 2007 have caused the college to temporarily suspend its operations, but the many supporters and devoted alumni are working with the administration to get this institution back on its feet.

Sheldon Jackson College was so important for so long because of its devotion to the native population and the fact that it encouraged scholarship and healthy competition among all its students, of which there were never more then three hundred at any point in the school’s 130 years of existence. This type of setting made it the ideal small college for Alaska and its encouragement of self-expression and academic excellence led to different political movements aimed at winning rights and land for the native population. Deals are currently in the works with different schools around the U.S. which would get Sheldon Jackson College back to being the force in Alaska it had been for so long.

Students who want to get that small college feeling can also enroll at Charter College, which has two locations in Alaska, in Anchorage and Wasilla. Students can take advantage of the many associate degree programs, but there are also extensive options in four-year degrees: Information Technology Engineering, Business Management & Technology, Business Management & Accounting, Construction Management and Criminal Justice degrees are all offered at these Charter locations.

Students who do not wish to enroll in the larger universities in the state can use this college as a way to either advance in a career already begun or to begin something new, as there are a variety of certificate programs on the table at Charter, some of which do not require a long time commitment.
