GERONTOLOGY
The College of Human Development and Education at North Dakota State University (NDSU) is able to bring graduate level, web-based training to students through its collaboration with Great Plains - Interactive Distance Education Alliance member universities. Through the Great Plains Interactive Distance Education Alliance (Great Plains IDEA), a consortium of ten universities, offers online graduate programs. Each university brings a unique strength to the multi-institution academic programs. However, your online courses are taught by the best faculty in the discipline from several universities.
- You apply and are admitted to one university;
- Enroll in all your courses at that university; and
- Graduate or receive a certificate from that university.
For additional information or questions please contact the NDSU Great Plains IDEA Coordinator
