Why Idaho

Why settle for less when you can have it all — the diversity, facilities, lifestyle and learning opportunities of a big-city university set amidst one of the most picturesque regions in the world — a region that is rich in opportunities for outdoor recreation.

World-class education
As the graduate degree-granting college for the University of Idaho, the College of Graduate Studies combines nationally competitive academic and research opportunities — the kind you’d expect at a large metro institution — with the small-town, hands-on approach that will jump-start your research and your career.

Small-town intimacy
Moscow is a friendly college town of 21,000 residents located in the beautiful rolling hills of the Palouse region of North Central Idaho. Moscow surrounds the University of Idaho campus and most stores and restaurants are within easy walking distance.

The best of both worlds
The University of Idaho campus is considered by many to be the residential campus of choice in the West. With its ivy-covered brick buildings, beautiful trees and hundreds of acres of green lawn, the university has the look and feel of a traditional college campus, yet continues to be on the cutting edge of technology, research and teaching. Students enjoy short walks to classes, recreational activities, a wide variety of on-campus living options and a safe and secure environment.

Why Idaho? That’s easy to answer.
No other campus in America offers such a rich and picturesque combination of the things you want most in a world-class education.
