Innovative Delivery of Education Alliance - IDEA

The state of Illinois needs professionals with education and training in homeland security, disaster preparedness, and emergency management.

If you are enrolled at an Alliance university, you now have the opportunity to gain homeland security skills and disaster preparedness training from expert faculty members across the state.

Students admitted to one university may enroll in any Illinois IDEA approved course without transferring or applying to another university. You will pay the same tuition and fees as you would for a course at your home university. All Alliance courses are delivered online.
