Sheldon Jackson College

Sheldon Jackson College, Alaska’s oldest educational institution, was founded in 1878 by Presbyterians in Sitka, Alaska in order to offer Native Americans the opportunity for higher education. Formerly an Alaskan native school, Sheldon Jackson College now serves a student body that is both Alaskan native and Anglo. A fully accredited private four-year liberal arts college, SJC is in a covenant relationship with the Presbyterian Church. The school offers programs in natural and aquatic resources, outdoor recreation, fisheries, marine biology, business, elementary and secondary education, and interdisciplinary studies.
