Yes, $25,000. Fully state authorized. Ready to launch in 4 months.
One U.S. state makes this possible. Most people don't know about it. Most consultants won't tell you about it. We will — on a free 30-minute call.
That's the total cost to open a fully state-authorized university in one specific U.S. state. Not $200,000. Not $100,000. Twenty-five thousand dollars — company formation, state registration, and full state authorization.
That's how fast you can go from zero to a fully authorized, operational university. While other states take 12–36 months and cost 10x more, this state has a streamlined process that we've mastered.
You'll be surprised when you find out which state.
It's home to some of the most innovative universities in the country — including pioneers of the self-paced, competency-based model that's transforming higher education.
