About Idaho State University

Along with our broad offerings of more than 280 certificate and degree programs across seven colleges, Idaho State University's students are leading the way in some of the most important issues of our time — health care, energy and the environment, just to name a few.

A Carnegie-classified doctoral research institution, our seven colleges engage in a broad range of innovative research, teaching and learning in the natural and physical sciences, humanities, performing and visual arts, education, engineering, business, pharmacy, and technology.

At our main campus in Pocatello, and at our locations in Meridian, Idaho Falls and Twin Falls, we offer an outstanding education amidst the grand natural beauty of the West. From mountains and rivers to woodlands and lakes, Idaho students have wonderful opportunities to study and play in some of the best outdoor life there is.
