After the text that is already there please add:
You may also be able to combine transfer credits with courses in one of the areas listed above to build your IDS degree.
Please note: while we are always working on expanding options, the areas listed in red above are currently the only subject areas that are available fully online. No other subject areas are available as part of the online IDS program. Also, if you are interested in any of our pre-professional health minors/coursework (example: pre-medicine, pre-dentistry) these are not available as part of an online degree.
We encourage you to attend an Information Session to learn more!
