About the author
Founded in 1889 and opened in 1892, the University of Idaho is the state's original public university and its land-grant research institution. Its main campus sits in Moscow, in the rolling Palouse region, and the university has grown to include a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs.
Over time, the university has built a reputation for hands-on learning and research connected to Idaho's communities and industries. Its programs have been especially associated with areas like agriculture, natural resources, engineering, law, and business, reflecting the practical mission of a land-grant school.
Beyond academics, the University of Idaho is also known for a campus identity shaped by traditions, athletics, and its Vandals nickname. Historic campus buildings, newer facilities, and a long institutional history give it a mix of heritage and forward-looking ambition.
