About us
A Former Academic Dean Guiding Institutions Forward
Clarion Academic Consulting was founded on a simple conviction: institutions navigating accreditation and compliance are best served by someone who has done the work from the inside. Dr. Althia Ellis brings more than 15 years of experience as an academic dean and institutional leader to every engagement, pairing deep regulatory knowledge with the lived perspective of someone who has led these processes herself.
What we do
Whether you’re pursuing DEAC accreditation for the first time, working through Florida CIE licensing requirements, or building programs that better serve your students, Clarion provides the strategic guidance and practical support to move your institution forward.
Why Clarion
Higher education consulting requires more than familiarity with the rules; it requires someone who has sat in the chair you’re sitting in. Dr. Ellis has led accreditation processes, managed compliance reviews, and built academic programs from the ground up. That firsthand experience shapes every engagement we take on.
