Stretched faculty capacity
New program development competes with the teaching and institutional responsibilities already demanding faculty attention.

Launch a high-quality health professions program without overextending faculty and internal resources. Strelis™ brings curriculum, academic infrastructure, and implementation expertise together so your team can move from program vision to launch while maintaining academic control.
Launching a program means managing risk from the start.
Heavy curriculum lift
Developing a complete curriculum from scratch requires significant time, academic expertise, and coordination across the board.
Uncertain program viability
New programs can require heavy upfront investment while student enrollment and long-term returns remain unclear.
Ongoing accreditation pressure
Meeting accreditation requirements alongside program development adds time, coordination, and complexity to the launch process.

Strelis evaluates market demand, program feasibility, and financial considerations early in academic program development, giving institutional leaders an evidence-based foundation for deciding where to invest before committing significant resources.

Explore common questions about evaluating, developing, and launching a new academic program with Strelis.
How do we know if a new program is viable?
Program viability starts with understanding whether an opportunity makes sense institutionally and financially. Strelis evaluates student demand, competitive dynamics, program economics, available resources, and institutional readiness to give leadership an evidence-based case for moving forward before significant resources are committed.
What does it take to launch a new academic program?
For a successful launch, health professions programs must align the academic model with accreditation requirements, faculty capacity, and implementation planning. That’s why Strelis delivers strategic advisory and operational infrastructure to help universities navigate these interconnected priorities from initial concept through launch.
Do we need to build the entire curriculum from scratch?
Building a new health professions curriculum does not have to start from a blank page. Strelis Programs™ provides ready-to-use curriculum and academic infrastructure that give universities a scalable foundation to build from so faculty can focus their expertise on shaping the academic experience in line with institutional priorities while retaining full leadership over curriculum, instruction, and academic decisions.
How can we start a physical therapy or occupational therapy program?
Understanding how to start a physical therapy program or occupational therapy program begins with evaluating feasibility, accreditation requirements, faculty capacity, and program infrastructure. Strelis supports universities from early planning through implementation and launch, with Strelis PT Entry™ and OT Post-Pro™ providing program-specific curriculum and infrastructure.
How can we reduce the financial risk of launching a new program?
Feasibility analysis and financial modeling establish clear visibility into expected capital investment, enrollment potential, and fiscal returns. That’s why Strelis partners with institutional leadership to align market data with a program strategy grounded in academic and financial realities.
