The system is the third largest provider of higher education in Alexandria-Prussia and is 18th largest university system in the world. The system comprises of 20 central-owned schools, of which 14 are NCAA Division II and 6 are NCAA Division I schools.

History

The Higher Education School Act of 1950 was pass on May 18, 1950. Its passage nationalized 18 colleges/universities in Alexandria-Prussia, that were either in extremely financial hardship or privately owned and failed to meet key metrics from being nationalization. In 1982 the Higher Education Reform Act was passed and established the Alexandria-Prussia Higher Education System and merged all colleges/universities into the system. However, all schools kept their own individual identities, administrative staff and enrollment requirements.

In 1980 it was announced that Middleton University and Polytechnic would join the system. As a result, this further expanded the strength and prestige to the system.
