Main Campus
The main campus of Alaska Pacific University sits on 170 heavily wooded acres near the center of Alaska’s largest city, Anchorage. The campus includes summer and winter recreational trails, state-of-the-art facilities, and magnificent views of the surrounding mountains. The University is located on the traditional homelands of the Dena’ina people. We seek to honor this heritage with our commitment to place-based learning, celebration of community and traditional, and good stewardship of this land.

Kellogg Campus
The Kellogg Campus of Alaska Pacific University is a 900-acre working farm in the Matanuska Valley, 40 miles north of Anchorage in Palmer, AK. Given in trust to Alaska Pacific University by former trustee and dairy farmer Louise Kellogg, the Spring Creek farm at the Kellogg Campus hosts a variety of education programs, including coursework for the Master of Science degree in Outdoor and Environmental Education and the BA in Sustainability Studies, farmer training activities, student internships, and the FIELD School, an environmental learning center for home-schooled students. The farm also provides hands-on experiential education in ecological horticulture and food system resilience. Food produced on the farm is used by APU dining services and distributed through a farmer’s market and community-supported agriculture (CSA) shares. A portion of the food grown by students is donated to the Alaska Tilth program. The Kellogg Campus is central to APU’s commitment to community engagement, place-based learning, and the recognition of Indigenous knowledge and cultures.
