Our History
Our past is rich with momentous triumphs and colorful milestones.
Under the direction of Peter Gordon Gould, an Unangax from the village of Unga, Alaska Methodist University (AMU) offered its first classes in 1960. AMU was renamed in 1978 to Â鶹MD´«Ã½ (Â鶹MD´«Ã½) but remains a Methodist-affiliated institution. It retains its commitment to its heritage of Alaska Native education while emphasizing rigorous academics and challenging field work in the arts and sciences.
