Working Together for the Greater Good

IDEA is a partnership of public universities providing quality online educational opportunities in two areas, human sciences and agriculture. Membership in IDEA is a selective process that involves university leadership at all levels.

Each university contributes to IDEA by:

  • Recruiting, admitting, enrolling and graduating students
  • Teaching in academic programs
  • Developing curriculum
  • Contributing to the leadership and direction of IDEA
  • Collaborating to deliver quality programs

Accredited Member Universities

Member universities are each accredited by one of 18 regional accrediting agencies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. Accreditation indicates to students and university constituents that an institution or program meets specific levels of quality for higher education.
