DISCOVER YOUR MOMENT. There’s something monumental waiting for you at the University of Idaho. We call it your breakthrough — that moment the light sparks on, your world opens, and the rest of your life is put into motion.

Your breakthrough might happen while you’re working on Baxter, our 300-pound coffee-making robot, or as you craft your creative masterpiece. Maybe it will hit you while you’re cheering on our NCAA football team beneath the iconic Kibbie Dome, or as you’re tossing a Frisbee on the Admin Lawn under a canopy of 100-year-old trees.

Whatever your big moment may be, you’ll find it at U of I. Because here, you’ll venture outside your comfort zone with unexpected experiences, new friends and inspiring perspectives.

The most exciting moment I’ve experienced has been working with Baxter, our 300-pound robot. The computer science program at U of I is very handson and in-depth. We are learning different robotic techniques that can translate to any industry.

EXPLORE THE THRILL

OF THE

UNKNOWN. We’re curious about our world. It’s full of puzzles we’re all working to understand, and you’ll help us put the pieces together. Maybe you’ll engineer a technology to research life on Mars, discover better ways to secure cyberspace, or invent tools for growing pest-resistant crops.

You’ll answer tough questions and solve real problems for real people. You might transform a crumbling concrete wall into a celebrated piece of public art, develop a business strategy for a Fortune 500 company, or bring clean drinking water to a Bolivian village.

Here, you’ll explore, push limits, create change and discover more. It’s just what we do.

Here, you’ll connect with people like you and learn from others who aren’t. And you’ll meet people from all corners of the world — making your own world that much bigger.
