Accreditations would be the thing that you need, and you probably don't get those until you have a proven program... and it'd be tough to get people to sign up for a program that doesn't have proper accreditations (otherwise you can just send away for a diploma in the mail)

You'd also need to get a staff... I'm sure you could do it all with visiting type professors, that would be willing to devote the time... but that professort would have to have enough name recognition to get people to come to your school.

Before you do that... the question I would ask is what can you do for a student that a legitimate university doesn't already do? Bottom line is... why would a student come to you?

A school, like anything else is a business, and for a new business to get started, you'll want to come up with a business plan, and go over it with an accountant and a lawyer to make sure you have all your bases covered.
