The Master of Science in Environmental Science (MSES) program at Alaska Pacific University is designed as a two-year, 36 credit curriculum. The program emphasizes developing students into practicing environmental scientists and policy informants.
The Associate of Applied Sciences degree in Geomatics prepares students for technician-level employment as land survey technicians or as automated mapping technicians.
Since Alaska poses unique geomatic challenges, the curriculum emphasizes northern principles and practices, making Geomatics graduates highly recruited in the Alaska marketplace and eligible for employment worldwide.
The Certificate in Geographic Information Systems represents a focused, concentrated study in the emerging field of geospatial data—information that can be referenced to the Earth through various coordinate systems.
The Applied Environmental Science and Technology program is interdisciplinary in nature, and encourages candidates to develop an understanding of environmental principles through advanced studies in biology, chemistry, geology, statistics and environmental engineering.
The Earth Sciences include the disciplines of geology, meteorology, oceanography, geochemistry, and geophysics. The department's goals are to relate these disciplines to intelligent living with the earth and to understand the interplay between earth and humanity.
