The University of Idaho in Idaho Falls is a unique opportunity for students who are not able to relocate to Moscow. The College of Agriculture provides quality porgrams in agricultural, food, family and consumer sciences, and related areas to all of Idaho. In addition to academic programs, the college also advances knowlege in these areas by research conducted through the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station and provies information transfer and application of new knowlege to the state and the nation through the Cooperative Extension System. The college also actively participates in international development and student and faculty exchange programs around the world. The College of Agriculture was established in 1901.
Preparation is provided in all of the major areas of professional education.
To this end, the college provides statewide access to high quality educational programs leading to baccalaureate and advanced degrees in engineering and computer science. The Graduate College encompasses all divisions of the university, but does not supervise programs in the College of Law. This coverage of all regular disciplines and professional fields provides a wide variety of academic programs. Enrollments are large enough to make possible the vital interchange of ideas among students and between students and faculty that is necessary for graduate programs, and yet enrollments are sufficiently small to permit close faculty-student relationships. Interdepartmental cooperation is an important factor on the Idaho campus.
