UA is a decent University System, but not more than that.

In fact, a few months ago, the University of Alaska Anchorage lost accreditation for their teacher program. Yes, you read that correctly. The largest University in Alaska lost their accreditation for a program that is one of the most needed in the state.

Getting people to teach in Alaska is a major issue for obvious reasons, and the largest university in the state did such a poor job that they lost their ability to graduate licensed teachers.
