Market and financial fit
Leaders need credible evidence that a new program can meet institutional, market, and financial expectations.
Build a new program with clarity and confidence.
Strelis brings specialized health professions expertise to each stage of academic program development. We work alongside your team to evaluate the opportunity, design the academic and operating model, prepare for accreditation, and move the program toward launch while your institution retains control.
Every early decision shapes the program that follows.
Accreditation requirements
Program decisions must reflect profession-specific standards and the sequence of the accreditation process.
Connected program design
Curriculum, assessment, faculty, clinical education, technology, and operations must function as one program.
Limited internal capacity
University teams may have the vision and expertise but lack the time or added capacity to manage every workstream.
Align the program before major decisions are made.
Engaging early gives your institution more flexibility before curriculum, staffing, technology, facilities, and delivery decisions become difficult to change. We help leaders test feasibility, clarify the program vision, develop the financial and operating model, and create a practical development roadmap aligned with institutional priorities and accreditation expectations.

Strelis combines strategic guidance with the specialized expertise and implementation capacity required to build the program. Our team can support curriculum architecture, assessment planning, faculty preparation, clinical partnerships, technology decisions, accreditation readiness, and launch planning.

Questions about program development.
Learn how Strelis higher education consulting supports planning, new program design, accreditation readiness, and implementation.
When should Strelis become involved in program development?
Ideally, Strelis becomes involved before the institution finalizes major decisions about curriculum, staffing, delivery, technology, facilities, or accreditation strategy. Early engagement allows the team to evaluate dependencies, reduce avoidable rework, and create a coordinated plan. We can also join later when a program needs added expertise or implementation capacity.
What can Strelis support during academic program development?
Support can begin with feasibility and strategic planning and continue through curriculum, assessment, faculty, clinical education, accreditation readiness, technology planning, and implementation. We tailor the scope to the institution’s stage, internal capabilities, and timeline rather than requiring a single development model.
Can Strelis help evaluate feasibility and financial viability?
Yes. We can help institutions examine market demand, competitive conditions, enrollment assumptions, operating requirements, faculty and clinical capacity, and financial considerations. The resulting analysis helps leaders determine whether to proceed and gives them a more credible basis for institutional planning, budgeting, and approval.
Can Strelis support hybrid or online program design?
Yes. Strelis supports programs across flipped, hybrid, and online delivery models. We help institutions determine which approach fits their learners, faculty, clinical requirements, accreditation environment, and strategic goals. The work may include delivery planning, technology decisions, faculty preparation, and implementation support.
How do curriculum and accreditation planning work together?
Curriculum architecture, assessment, faculty qualifications, clinical education, policies, and program evidence all connect to accreditation expectations. Strelis considers these relationships throughout development so the program can build accreditation readiness into its design rather than treating compliance as a separate workstream near the end.
Does consulting require us to use Strelis Programs?
No. Program Development Consulting can support an institution using its own curriculum, Strelis Programs, or a combination of both. We begin with the university’s goals and determine what expertise, curriculum development services, or implementation support will be most useful. The institution retains program ownership and academic authority.
Can Strelis stay involved through implementation and launch?
Yes. Strelis can continue beyond planning to support implementation, faculty preparation, accreditation work, technology coordination, clinical partnership development, and launch readiness. The engagement can cover a defined phase or a broader development effort, with scope, responsibilities, deliverables, and fees established before work begins.
