Boise State University is on the map and on the move. We stand uniquely positioned in Idaho as a metropolitan university empowered by a dynamic, high-tech economy and one of the most attractive regions in the nation.

From its earliest days, Boise State has been a place where students come first, with award-winning faculty dedicated to excellent teaching. As Boise has grown into a dynamic marketplace of ideas and products, the university has kept pace, transforming itself into a metropolitan university dedicated not only to an outstanding undergraduate experience, but also to advanced graduate studies and the pursuit of groundbreaking research and technology.

The university offers more than 190 fields of interest. Undergraduate, graduate and technical programs are available in seven colleges: Arts and Sciences, Business and Economics, Education, Engineering, Graduate Studies, Health Sciences, and Social Sciences and Public Affairs. Students can also study abroad, participate in one of the largest internship programs in the Northwest, and work with professors on health-related research to fight cancer, arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease, among others.

Campus life offers adventure and activity. More than 200 student organizations, new residence halls along the Boise River Greenbelt and a state-of-the-art Student Recreation Center provide opportunities for both individual development and fun. More than one million visitors come to campus annually for Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning speakers, Bronco football, Martin Luther King Jr. Human Rights Celebration and other events.
