ACPE's mission is to promote, support, and provide access to postsecondary education in Alaska and for Alaskans.

End Result A: Increase Alaskans' successful participation in postsecondary education.

The latest published data for Alaska are for 2006, which reflect that only 7 of 100 Alaskan 9th graders will complete a college credential on time, compared to 20 of 100 9th graders nationally. The data reflects an increase from the prior year; however, it still does not meet the target of equaling the national average.

End Result B: Reduce Alaskans' cost of postsecondary education

By prudent financial and program management and by putting students first, Alaska Student Loan Corporation (ASLC) and partner agency the Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education (ACPE) continue to offer Alaska students the most beneficial education loan interest rates in the U.S.

End Result C: Provide consumer protection to Alaska's higher education students.

ACPE achieves this target by requiring all entities seeking to and approved for delivery of education services in Alaska meet all applicable state standards.
