Alaska Pacific University?s Master of Arts Program (MAP) is designed specifically for the working professional who is interested in pursuing advanced learning, but not interested in a traditional classroom approach.

The MAP is a 36-credit, individualized contract-learning degree program. Students typically complete the degree requirements in three phases as self-directed learners, working with their academic?mentors to develop semester study plans that identify the learning goals, projects to be accomplished, methodology and outcomes. Candidates must therefore demonstrate their ability to work independently in their proposed field of study.
