PROGRAM/CURRICULUM REVIEW
We know that colleges and universities are finding themselves within an increasingly competitive environment when it comes to student enrollment. Even the global marketplace for international students has become challenging with more and more players--sometimes of dubious quality--offering quick low-cost programs. Strong accredited institutions like yours have been finding that the old ways of attracting international students no longer have the full effect they need.
With over 25 years of experience growing international higher education programs in the United States and Canada, ACEI and our Global Consulting Group well understand the current global landscape when it comes to student enrollment. We help you reach international students in key and emerging markets, develop articulation agreements with international institutions, and efficiently promote your program to develop the economically sustainable and culturally diverse student body your institution needs.
