Alabama Commission on Higher Education

Alabama Commission on Higher Education

The Alabama Commission on Higher Education is the government agency that oversees higher education in the US state of Alabama.

Currently, the state is considered a haven for diploma mills, but the state agencies "are planning to seek new legislation during the upcoming legislative session to better protect consumers, who shouldn't be led to think that a degree from one of these outfits represents anything of value."
