University of Idaho Information
University of Idaho is a public research university in the city of Moscow, Idaho. Established in 1889, it is one of the state's oldest universities and the only one which offers courses in Law. It is headed by its president, M. Duane Nellis, and is Idaho's flagship university and also one of the largest, in terms of land area.
The university's establishment is a result of a council bill signed by then Governor Edward Stevenson on January 30, 1889, to create the state's first land-grant academic institution. The university first opened its doors to students in October 1892, with 40 students and only one teaching staff by the name of Professor John Edwin Ostrander. In 1906, the University of Idaho administration building caught fire and the new building that took its place adapted Tudor Gothic architectural structure. Other buildings that were constructed afterward were carefully thought of in terms of design, and presently, the campus is known as one of the most breathtaking and scenic campuses in America.
Presently, the university of Idaho has 10 colleges: The colleges of Agricultural & Life Sciences; Art & Architecture; Business & Economics; Education; Engineering; Graduate Studies; Law; Letters, Arts & Social Sciences; Natural Resources; and Science. While most of the colleges offer both undergraduate and post-graduate degrees, the colleges of Law and Graduate studies cater exclusively to post-grad students. The university also has several research institutes and centers both off and on campus to help students with practical applications of their chosen fields. These centers include the Sandpoint R&E Center, UIdaho Research Park, Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station and Palouse Research, Extension and Education Center. The university's research endeavors have included support for research on climate change, life sciences, and the development of technological equipment to aid in further research.
The university of Idaho doesn't merely focus on the scholarly development of its students and aim to produce students who not only excel in academics, but also sports, socialization and other activities. The university is home to many fraternities and sororities and its athletics program is extremely competitive. The university's sports teams, the Vandals, compete in sports like Golf, Football, Tennis, Volleyball, and many more. The university also offers its students a variety of organizations and clubs to choose from. The university has its own television station, radio station, orchestra and outreach groups who give back to the community of Moscow.
