Innovating Education with Alliant International University
EduConnect created a co-branded degree program with Alliant International University in creating a Executive MBA program designed to address key challenges faced by international students. This innovative program was developed to ensure Student benefit from a high-quality education, flexible learning options, and real-world experience, all at a reduced cost.
How we’ve helped with high costs of US tuition
EduConnect worked with Alliant to lower the tuition point for this program, making it more accessible to more international students. Additionally, through our partnership, we secured university grants, providing students with further financial relief, including a $6,000 grant towards tuition. EduConnect also introduced an interest-free student payment plan, making it easier for students to manage their tuition payments without the burden of accumulating interest.
Demand for more flexibility post Covid
To accommodate the diverse needs of international students, EduConnect helped design a convenient hybrid schedule. This flexible format allows students to balance their studies with work and personal commitments, combining the benefits of in-person and online learning while aligning with federal regulations.
Students want to gain practical experience in their field of study
Securing practical training opportunities is crucial for international students. EduConnect’s extensive network of industry partners ensures that students receive internship placement assistance for both Curricular Practical Training (CPT) and Optional Practical Training (OPT). From the first day of the program, students can start working and gaining valuable experience in their field.
Expanding a Global Network with Vatel Hotel and Tourism Business School
Through our collaboration, the Vatel Institute of Hospitality Management was born, offering students from around the globe the opportunity to study at Alliant’s Los Angeles Campus. Thanks to our partnership services, these students can now earn an accredited MBA from the U.S. alongside a Master’s degree from France.
Our online marketing strategies have played a key role in this success. We have driven brand awareness, executed live webinars, and launched targeted social media campaigns that have led to the enrollment of over 200 students from 23 different countries.
Furthermore, our extensive network of industry partners has allowed us to connect these students with invaluable practical training opportunities. These placements are at prestigious 4- and 5-star hotel properties, ensuring that each student gains hands-on experience that complements their academic achievements.
Expanding International American University’s Global Footprint
EduConnect USA played a pivotal role in the successful expansion of International American University (IAU) by franchising their programs to international universities, resulting in the establishment of IAU Madrid and IAU Bordeaux, with more campuses on the horizon. Leveraging our deep expertise in global education and strategic partnerships, EduConnect identified ideal partner institutions that aligned with IAU’s vision and academic standards.
How We Helped
Our team meticulously researched and matched IAU with reputable universities in Europe, ensuring that each partner was not only a strong academic fit but also shared a commitment to delivering high-quality education. Once the ideal partners were identified, EduConnect expertly negotiated the franchise agreements on behalf of IAU, securing terms that upheld the integrity of the IAU brand while facilitating smooth and mutually beneficial collaborations.
Thanks to EduConnect’s strategic approach, IAU successfully expanded its global presence, offering its accredited programs to a broader international audience. The new campuses in Madrid and Bordeaux are just the beginning, as this partnership model continues to open doors for further expansion, solidifying IAU’s position as a leader in global education.
