Although Outer Coast is not yet an independently accredited college, the undergraduate program serves as a student’s first two years of college-level education. Outer Coast is authorized as a postsecondary institution by the Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education (ACPE) and confers credit through our collaboration with University of Alaska Southeast.
Outer Coast undergraduates receive two full years of college credit and a transcript from University of Alaska Southeast, and are positioned to transfer with junior standing to a four-year university to finish their undergraduate degree.
