 The University of Idaho is a premier destination for higher
education and Idaho's only national research institution. From our
beautiful residential campus in Moscow, as well as our learning centers
that touch every community in Idaho, the University of Idaho is leading
our state and region with an energized environment where passion for
knowledge and discovery expands intellectual and cultural boundaries.
At the University of Idaho, we attract many of the nation's best
students every year, because our expectations are higher and our
commitment is stronger. We equip our people with the substantial
resources they expect from an internationally recognized land-grant
institution. Our graduates join a legacy of thinkers, leaders, and
global citizens that is focused on improving lives within the state and
beyond.
The University of Idaho is the only institution in Idaho earning the
prestigious Carnegie Foundation ranking for high research activity. Our
researchers attract nearly $100 million in research grants and
contracts each year.
The University of Idaho is home to 12,000 undergraduate, graduate,
and professional students from all 50 states. International students
from more than 73 countries comprise 5 percent of the student body. The
University enrolls 42 National Merit Scholars, by far the largest
number in Idaho and among the highest concentration of Merit Scholars
in the western United States. Nearly 50 percent of the incoming
freshmen were in the top quartile of their graduating class.
The University has a commitment to diversity, multiculturalism and
community. We actively engage in the recruitment and retention of a
diverse workforce and student body that includes members of
historically underrepresented groups.
Our global commitment to lead makes Idaho a better place to study,
to work, to live and to visit. At the University of Idaho, the state is
our campus, and the world is our lab. |
