Small Tribal University, 99% of the professors are highly qualified and knowledgeable, small classes, amazing schedule, flexibility, tons of active learning, gorgeous campus. It is worth every penny.

Laska pacific is a very small school

Very Small, roughly 600 students so it makes for small class sizes and the opportunity to really get to know your professors. If you live in the dorms or campus houses, you are very close nit with those around you. It's like one big family at APU. Very focused on the outdoors too. Lots of opportunities for adventures. Great climbing wall too!!
Bad reviews

APU has dramatically declined in quality. Programs are not designed for growth, they are set up to weed people out. If you are trying to work and go to school, do not even attempt any of the MS programs, you will be left sorely disappointed, overwhelmed, and unsupported. I deeply regret having started here and discourage attendance at all costs.
