Welcome to our overview of IDEA, an online higher education alliance. This section of the website is for faculty and administrators at higher education institutions seeking to better understand what IDEA is, how we operate, and if your program or university can benefit from partnering with this consortium.
If you’re interested in becoming a student, taking classes, or earning a degree, we have a different area of the website that explains how IDEA works from a student's point of view.
