Lindenwood University is very pleased with the consulting received from Edu Alliance. We asked for a business case to start a branch overseas and we feel you all did a very good job scoping out the landscape, interviewing the appropriate folks on the viability of the branch and put together a financial business case to support findings. I would certainly recommend Edu Alliance as I believe you truly care about the work you do and the deliverables you produce.
I’ve had the great pleasure and honor of working with Dean and Senthil on issues related to education for many years, most recently while I served as President of the American University of Bahrain. They are first-rate thinkers, and their work helps practitioners like me stay on top of trends and issues that impact our institutions.
Overall, the Edu Alliance team has been a tremendous help to me as I took on the task of adding graduate programs to NYUAD. Being able to regularly consult with a set of experienced academic administrators and to obtain relevant and insightful data was invaluable. I felt like we've had an excellent and productive relationship and I have found the team to be responsive, productive, and excellent colleagues.
