Ideal living-and-learning environment

The Energy Executive Course is the flagship executive education program in the University of Idaho College of Business and Economics. Classes are held in the J.A. Albertson Building where state-of-the-art classrooms have been specifically designed to support integrated, participant-focused teaching methods.

The Pacific Northwest is a beautiful and inviting region of the country. Moscow offers the convenience and charm of a small town with the university’s exciting panorama of activities. A vital part of our Northwest community, University of Idaho is nestled in the heart of the Palouse, with miles of rolling wheat fields and evergreens. Some of the nation’s most spectacular lakes, rivers and mountains are within easy driving distance.

The peaceful retreat atmosphere encourages participants to focus on course content as well as professional interaction. To complement its curriculum, the Energy Executive Course offers several outstanding network-building opportunities.

The comfort of all participants is a priority. Staff members are known for their attention to detail, ensuring that your stay is not only productive, but enjoyable.

Participants stay next to campus at the Best Western University Inn. Each participant enjoys the comfort and convenience of a private room with amenities that include wireless internet service, cable television, in-room coffee, microwave, refrigerator and access to same-day laundry service. In addition, course participants will have convenient access to University of Idaho's Student Recreation Center, Latah and Chipman Palouse Trails and the U of I Golf Course.

Network-building

As part of the Energy Executive Course’s network-building opportunities, participants may join an optional hard-hat tour of the Grand Coulee Dam — one of the largest concrete dams in North America. The tour includes access to the irrigation system, powerhouses, the top of the dam and several internal galleries. The day will conclude with a group dinner at Spokane’s historic Steam Plant Grill.

Admission and fees

The Energy Executive Course is designed for experienced managers and executives who have attained, or will attain, significant general management responsibilities. Participants have demonstrated leadership capabilities and the potential to advance in leadership roles and have the endorsement of senior management to attend.

Any employee of an energy company with the potential to benefit from the course is welcome to apply. Our staff relies on the judgment of each company to select those individuals with the potential for growth in leadership responsibilities who will find the course most useful.

The 2026 Energy Executive Course in-person session will be held June 15 through 25. The registration fee of U.S. $15,500 includes all instruction, books and materials in addition to lodging, meals, refreshments, field trips and other special events. Participants will also receive a Certificate of Completion and Continuing Education Units.

A 50% non-refundable deposit is due at the time of application. To ensure the highest-quality educational experience for all participants, enrollment is limited.

Please apply by March 2, 2026.

FAQ's

Do I need to make my own hotel reservations?

No. We will make hotel arrangements for you.

When should I plan to arrive?

Plan to arrive by 5 p.m. PT on Monday, June 15. Check in at the Best Western University Inn, located at 1516 Pullman Road, Moscow, Idaho, 83843 (208-882-0550). There will be a welcome reception at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner.

Not everyone will arrive in time for the orientation and welcome reception, so if you arrive late on Monday, please don’t worry. We will catch up with any necessary logistics on Tuesday morning.

When will the course be completed?

The last scheduled event is a dinner cruise on beautiful Lake Coeur d’Alene, Thursday, June 25. If you are flying out of Spokane, Washington, you might find it more convenient to stay overnight in Coeur d’Alene or Spokane. Note: Your room in Moscow at the University Inn is covered as part of the registration fee; rooms elsewhere are not included. Also, rooms at the Coeur d’Alene Resort are extremely limited in June.  

Due to the size of our group, the University Inn cannot accommodate late checkout. If you are planning to stay in Coeur d’Alene or Spokane, you will need to check out by 6:45 a.m. on Thursday, June 25. If you plan to stay at the University Inn on Thursday night, the check-out time on Friday, June 26 is noon.

How do I fly to Moscow, Idaho?

You can fly to the Palouse. The Pullman-Moscow airport code is PUW, and this airport serves Pullman, Washington and Moscow, Idaho. The airport is conveniently located between the two cities, just four miles from Moscow.  You can fly into the Spokane, Washington International Airport (airport code GEG) 90 miles to the north. If you fly into Spokane, please plan to rent a car and drive to Moscow. It’s an easy and pleasant drive (approximately 1.5 hours). You may be able to drop your rental car at the Pullman-Moscow Airport if you don’t want to keep it over the two weeks.  

You can also fly into the Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport (airport code is LWS) about 40 miles to the south of Moscow. If you fly into Lewiston, please plan to rent a car and drive to Moscow.

Do I need a rental car?

A car is not necessary. We have reserved the Vandal Trolley to shuttle you between the hotel and campus, but if you decide to rent a car and would prefer to drive to campus, please let us know so we can arrange for a campus parking permit. The University Inn will also have a van available to take you downtown and to the Pullman-Moscow Airport.

What’s the dress?

Dress throughout the course is casual for participants, faculty and staff. You are back on campus and will be spending a lot of time in class, so dress comfortably—jeans, shorts and t-shirts are all fine. The classroom temperature is controlled remotely, so please bring a sweater or sweatshirt if you get chilly!  

Plan for business casual on the last day (June 25) in Coeur d’Alene when we join the Summit Cohort. Some participants will opt for casual wear on the dinner cruise.

Will there be any problems accommodating my dietary restrictions?

University of Idaho and University Inn catering staff do a wonderful job of creating delicious meals specially prepared for the Energy Executive Course. They are happy to accommodate any special dietary needs or requests. Just let us know.

96% of the 2025 participants said EEC’s tailored curriculum, networking opportunities and value for investment exceeded their expectations.
