Participating students not only get a heavy dose of full-credit university course work but also learn to be comfortable in the campus environment. A curriculum of eight to ten university credits emphasizing writing and study skills is complimented by electives in mathematics, chemistry, and Alaska Native studies, or computer science with additional choices in Alaska Native dance, swimming and a practical computer course.
Students quickly get to know each other and develop a supportive network.
