Alaska has a number of high-quality university outdoor degree programs that benefit from the great experiential learning Alaska's mountains, oceans, rivers, and history and cultures have to offer. Starting in the '60s and '70s with Alaska Community College, now University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA), and Alaska Methodist University, now Alaska Pacific University (APU), the programs have evolved as the outdoor profession has grown. This Outdoor Explorer welcomes representatives from APU, UAA, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Prince William Sound College, and the University of Alaska Southeast. They'll describe their programs and discuss the value of an outdoor education degree.
