Alberta Advanced Education (also known as the Ministry of Advanced Education) is a ministry in the Executive Council of Alberta. Alberta Advanced Education is responsible for the public funding of post-secondary institutions in the province, in addition to loans and grants for post-secondary students.[1]
The ministry has existed in its current form since 2004. However, two other ministries with the same title existed from 1971–1975 and 1983–1992.[2] On April 30, 2019, Demetrios Nicolaides was appointed Minister of Advanced Education following the 2019 Alberta general election, replacing Marlin Schmidt.[3]

Alberta Advanced Education was founded on November 25, 2004 by an Order-in-Council, with Dave Hancock serving as inaugural minister. Alberta Advanced Education was created after the Ministry of Learning was split into the ministries of Education and Advanced Education.[4]
Previously, the Advanced Education portfolio had changed hands across various ministries, including Advanced Education and Career Development (1992-1999) and Advanced Education and Manpower (1975-1983).[4]
As of 2018, the ministry oversees institutions with a collective enrolment 263,495 students, with 17% of Albertans aged 17 to 34 enrolled in provincial post-secondary entities. Alberta Advanced Education's 2019 budget was $6,156,143,000, $5,700,030,000 (93%) of which was distributed directly to individual institutions.[1]
