We provide the licensing and accreditation needed to establish a new university and offer comprehensive guidance throughout the process.

This involves helping our clients understand all the legal and financial requirements around university establishment, as well as providing marketing and branding advice to ensure their university or college stands out from other educational institutions.

Our competitors can only offer a limited service, either licensing or accreditation, as most don't have the skills or team required to provide a turnkey service. This is why EEC stands out from the crowd – we can offer our clients everything they need to get their university off the ground easily and efficiently.
We aim to provide a complete service that will give our clients every chance of success when setting up their university. With EEC, you get a complete package of expertise and support for your university startup project.

 At EEC we're looking at building a long-term relationship with our clients, where launching a university is only the first step.

 We are confident that no other company can match our team of experts and their specialized knowledge.

Meet the Bench Behind Your University Dream

When you start your university or even ask, “How much does it cost to open a university?”—the true answer is that the single biggest investment isn’t real estate or software. It’s people.
That’s why Expert Education Consultants delivers an entire bench of 35+ specialists
whose combined expertise covers every mile of the private-institution journey.

One Team, Every Discipline

Think of us as a world-class faculty, but for building universities—seasoned professionals who have spent 12–20 years each inside accreditation agencies, registrars’ offices, finance departments, digital-learning labs, and international-student centers. Together we speak the full language of higher-ed compliance, curriculum, technology, and finance. No titles, no résumés—just a synchronized brain trust focused on your success.

The Pod Model—Collective Firepower on Demand

Instead of hiring a lone consultant (and hoping they can wear twelve hats), you tap a custom “pod.”

  • Hand-selected mix: Regulatory strategist + accreditation architect + curriculum designer + tech integrator + finance modeler + more—chosen to match your blueprint.
  • Fluid membership: Need a SEVIS expert next month? A data-analytics guru for the site visit? We swap talent in with zero downtime.
  • Unified voice: Every specialist reports into the same leadership, so guidance never conflicts and momentum never stalls.

Result: You get the depth of multiple firms with the simplicity of one contract, one project rhythm, one shared mission.

What Our Bench Has Achieved Collectively
and Throughout Their Career

  • 200+ state licensure approvals, coast to coast
  • 40 accredited degree programs now serving 120,000+ learners
  • 18 first-time institutional accreditations—zero critical findings
  • $1.2 billion in Title IV eligibility unlocked for client campuses
  • 17 bricks-and-mortar universities launched with flawless SEVIS certification

Leadership That Guarantees Results

Our CEO and COO orchestrate every engagement:

  • Accountability: They review scopes, timelines, and invoices, ensuring you get exactly what you paid for.
  • Agility: Need to swap a specialist? Leadership reallocates talent—no renegotiation required.
  • Clarity: A single point of contact, clear escalation paths, and transparent progress
    dashboards keep the entire pod aligned with your board’s priorities.

Why Collective Expertise Matters

  1. Speed to Approval – Parallel workstreams mean license, curriculum, and tech plans develop at the same time—cutting months off launch dates.
  2. Risk Mitigation – Multiple credentialed eyes catch compliance gaps before regulators do.
  3. Cost Efficiency – Pay only for specialist hours you need; avoid full-time salaries and fragmented vendor fees.
  4. Scalable Know-How – As your university grows, the bench scales with you—new programs, campuses,
    or accreditations are just an internal hand-off away.
