What does the share of awards mean?
Sustainability Studies accounts for 1.4% of the awards or completions reported for Alaska Pacific University. That award concentration is higher than at 93% of schools in this field set and is 2.2x the national average award concentration. It does not estimate how many students are currently enrolled in the program.
How should I read the cost number?
Alaska Pacific University's average net price is $21,616 per year, about $86,464 over four years. That is $370 above the $21,246 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $54,271 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $8,837 below the $63,108 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
Start with award concentration, net price after aid, graduation rate, location, and whether the department publishes placement or licensure outcomes. EduGradify places Alaska Pacific University #140 of 203 on its school-level value rank among colleges reporting awards in this field.
