"Middle College" for Rural Alaska Summer Academy
The "Middle College" for Rural Alaska Summer Academy in Valdez, Alaska offers seven full programs that can be completed in one to two weeks for up to 3 college credits per program.
What is offered?
The coursework at each summer 2023 program consists of a college-level class that can be used to satisfy requirements for an Occupational Endorsement Certificate or Associate Degree.
Tuition, fees, housing, and activities for qualified program participants will be paid for by the DEED American Rescue Plan funding and offered at no charge to the student.
What Will Students Experience?
- In the Classroom
Plan on being in class 6-8 hours each day. Depending on the course, class time may be split between a classroom, shop, and/or outdoor field experience.
- Outdoor Adventures
Here in Valdez we think time outdoors is important too. Prepare to go outside for moderately active adventures most days. Think hiking, beach combing, and glacier exploring.
- After Hours
Students will stay in PWSC campus housing. Camp mentors will provide dorm supervision, coordinate evening group activities, and provide support as students negotiate independent living skills.
