Happy New Years from all of us at EduConnect!

Looking back at 2025, we are very grateful for this community. It’s been an incredible year; from seeing our students reach their goals and graduate, to welcoming those just beginning their U.S. careers and degrees.

While we’re proud of what has been accomplished so far, we’re even more excited about what’s next.

In 2026, we’re focused on making education and career paths accessible to even more people. That means expanding our global footprint and building stronger ties with our partners worldwide.

We’re constantly working on new offerings to create better pathways for students, and more value for our partners. We can’t wait to keep growing alongside all of you in the new year.

Here’s to a great 2026! 🚀

Happy Holidays from all of us at EduConnect USA!

To our international student community, partners, and employers; thank you for being part of our journey this year! It’s been incredible supporting students as they take their first steps toward U.S. degrees and work experiences.

We’re grateful for your trust and collaboration and look forward to continuing to help our international community access affordable, accredited opportunities to study and work in the U.S.

Wishing everyone a joyful, restful holiday season!

The Alliant Los Angeles campus had a great visit today from CSML Dean Dr. Kumar and program directors Dr. Scott and Dr. Wester!

We're happy to recognize the hard work these students put in all year, balancing studies, work, and the challenges that come with living in a new country. It's exciting to see their continued dedication as we wrap up 2025 and head into the holiday season!

Miami 2025 is underway, and with hundreds of international education leaders in one place, it’s a great place to discuss future collaboration to improve global mobility pathways for international students!

EduConnect USA is in attendance with CEO Rodrigue Colaianni. If you’re attending ICEF this year, stop by our table to connect!

UPCOMING WEBINAR ON DECEMBER 17TH ‼️

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at EduConnect USA! 🦃

We're incredibly thankful for our international students, partners, and dedicated team who truly make our international community what it is. Wishing you a restful holiday and time well spent with the people who matter most.

HIU - Đại học Quốc tế Hồng Bàng, Hong Bang International University (HIU) in Vietnam recently had the pleasure of introducing Alliant International University’s graduate work and study programs to their students, presented by our partner IEC Global. Thank you to Harry and the IEC team for leading the session.

We’re excited to continue strengthening our partnership with Hong Bang International University and are proud to highlight them during International Education Week as we expand opportunities for international students.

Happy International Education Week!

We’re proud to celebrate the international students, educators, and institutions who shape our community and highlight the impact of global education.

Strengthening internationalization is at the core of what we do at EduConnect USA, and we continue working each day to make graduate education in the United States more accessible and affordable.

The results are clear. Our students build lifelong friendships, gain global-level career connections, and earn accredited U.S. degrees without the burden of student debt. They study, work, and grow in one of the most dynamic countries in the world, carrying those experiences with them into the next stages of their careers.

This week, we celebrate the contributions of international students, educators, and institutions in shaping a more connected and diverse global community!

Happy International Students' Day and International Education Week!

Current MBA student at Alliant International University and ambassador of EduConnect USA, Aicha was on campus this past week for another term of classes!

Living outside the state, Aicha shares her experience on the benefits of her course schedule; balancing online learning with in-person classes on campus.

"One thing I love about my hybrid schedule — I get the best of both worlds! Most days I study online from home, but when it’s time to be on campus, I actually get excited to go! The commute, the classroom vibes, meeting friends, and just feeling that real student energy again — it always reminds me why I love what I’m doing. 💛"

We’re proud to have Aicha representing EduConnect, and inspired to see her continued growth both in and beyond the classroom.

The final term of 2025 is officially underway! Yesterday, we welcomed the October cohort to Alliant International University's Los Angeles campus!

These new Executive students follow a hybrid schedule, attending classes on campus during the first and last week of each term and completing the rest online. This setup allows them to live and work anywhere in the U.S. while earning their degree.

We’re excited to see what this group accomplishes as they close out 2025 and take the next step in their professional careers.
