The Alabama Commission on Higher Education (ACHE) has taken significant steps to enhance educational offerings and address workforce shortages across the state.

Additionally, the commission greenlit a Master of Science in Nursing at Jacksonville State University, focusing on preparing nurse educators to alleviate the nursing shortage.
