How We Helped These Institutions Succeed

Every institution's journey is unique. Here's a closer look at three of our most impactful long-term partnerships.

Institute of Brain Education
🏆 DEAC Accreditation — Zero Critical Findings
Case Study #1 · Arizona

Institute of Brain Education

What started in 2021 as a request to add new degree programs grew into one of EEC's deepest partnerships. Over five years, we worked hand-in-hand with IBE's leadership team and faculty to expand their academic offerings, develop their LMS and SIS systems, build out instructional design for every course, and train their faculty on instructional design best practices — a critical requirement for DEAC accreditation. In 2026, the Institute of Brain Education was awarded full DEAC accreditation with zero critical findings.

Jala University
🌍 International Client — Latin America → U.S.
Case Study #2 · International

Jala University

Jala University came to EEC from Latin America in 2021 with a bold vision: establish a fully operational, accredited university in the United States. We partnered with them from day one — securing their U.S. state authorization, guiding them through ASIC accreditation in record time, developing all institutional policies, building their technology infrastructure, and recruiting their U.S.-based team. In 2026, Jala University successfully completed their DEAC site visit, and their full accreditation is now a matter of time.

Orlando School of Nursing
🏥 Built From the Ground Up — CIE + Board of Nursing
Case Study #3 · Florida

Orlando School of Nursing

When two successful Orlando physicians saw the critical need for trained nurses in Florida, they had the passion and the vision — but no academic background in building an educational institution. They came to EEC in 2023, and we built their dream school from the ground up. We developed all nursing curricula, recruited and hired all staff and faculty, and completed both their CIE license application and their Florida Board of Nursing application. Today, we continue working closely with them to maintain compliance, renew their licenses, and guide them toward accreditation.
