About The College of Idaho

The College of Idaho is a private, liberal arts institution that provides an undergraduate education for more than 800 students in Caldwell.

Founded in 1891, The College of Idaho provides a curriculum that is grounded in the liberal arts in a challenging, intimate academic setting. Embodying its slogan "Awaken the Mind, Encounter Truth, Contribute to Community,” the college prides itself on small classes and close student-faculty interaction, while also preparing its students for leadership roles in various occupations and communities. The college's liberal arts education is enhanced with the latest technology, off-campus internships, international study and community service.

The College was recently ranked the 20th best college in the U.S. for "More Things to Do on Campus" by the Princeton Review and is regularly ranked in various publications as a top college in the Pacific Northwest and nationally.

The College's 50-acre campus includes walking trails, athletic fields, academic buildings, an art gallery, an auditorium and an outdoor amphitheater. The College's newest facilities include a student union building, two apartment-like residence halls and a performing and fine arts center.
