Forging the Next Generation of Business Leaders

At Idaho State, a business degree is much more than one of the most popular degree choices in the nation. As one of fewer than 200 schools worldwide to achieve accreditation from the International Association of Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) for both business and accounting programs, success is in our DNA.

Students gain hands-on experience beyond the textbook through applied learning methods and, with our own in-house career prep program, can step right into a career upon graduation.

COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

Preparing Tomorrow’s Change Makers

Few career paths offer students the opportunity to change the world as much as education. At the ISU College of Education, we create leaders who serve in diverse contexts such as K-12 schools, businesses, community organizations, higher education, and more.

Experience New Cultures When You Study Abroad

Students who qualify broaden their educational experience by discovering insights into other cultures and reflecting on how their own culture has shaped their understanding of the world.

BENGAL LIFE

When students come to Idaho State, they’re stepping into Bengal country. There’s spirit here — it’s a place filled with pride, tradition, and legacy. Living on campus offers students distinct advantages and puts them in the middle of all the action as they work, learn, and socialize. And off-campus, they experience freedom unlike any other place in the country.

Idaho State University is a place where life, relationships, and community collide in beautiful ways.

Perks to Living on Campus

Campus life gives you plenty of opportunities to get connected. And with student housing that is close to everything, 24-hour on-call staff, and free laundry in every building, you’ll feel right at home.

Enjoy the Bengal Life

Rated one of the best small cities in the US, Pocatello is known as the smile capital of America. And as one of the most affordable places to live, it’s a great place to pursue higher ed.

On campus, enjoy free events like movies, concerts, art exhibits, and paint parties. Or spend time in one of the 150+ clubs and organizations like intramural sports, cultural programs, honorary societies, student newspaper, and more.

An Outdoor Lover’s Paradise

With 207 sunny days a year and an average summer high of 85° F, good weather abounds at ISU. Sitting at 4,462 ft, Pocatello is steps away from world-class outdoor adventure, including 1,000+ miles of hiking and mountain biking trails. But that’s just the beginning — enjoy all the skiing, rock climbing, hunting, fishing, rafting, boating, camping, and sightseeing your heart desires.
