How difficult is to open University in USA? - cecilgambe7 - 08-01-2019

After some weeks in this forum learning about the US college system, im wondering now... may someone just open a University/College as business in the US? It request big amount of money??

The short answer is yes.  It is why proper accreditation is very important when choosing a school.  The Big 3 all have the highest legitimate form of accreditation (RA = Regionally accredited); https://www.chea.org/regional-accrediting-organizations

I think it takes a minimum of 3 years to get accreditation. And you'd probably need faculty with masters degrees from RA schools.

If Donald Trump can open a "University", anyone can, I suppose.

Depends on what you mean by university. If you start a business called Cecilgambe7 University LLC and offer an ACE class or two maybe not that much.

The organization was not an accredited university or college...Trump University was also the subject of two class action lawsuits in federal court. The lawsuits centered around allegations that Trump University defrauded its students by using misleading marketing practices and engaging in aggressive sales tactics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_University
