The College of Idaho, abbreviated C of I, is a private liberal arts college in Caldwell, Idaho. Founded in 1891 by William Judson Boone as a Presbyterian college, it is the state's oldest private liberal arts college and has an enrollment of over 1,000 students.
The college offers 30 undergraduate programs to earn a B.A., with select programs offering the opportunity to earn either a B.A. or a B.S. degree. The college also offers 4 graduate degrees in the fields of Sports Administration, Medical Science, Physician Assistant Studies, and Education. While previously utilizing the "PEAK" curriculum, in which students could earn one major and three minors in the span of four years, starting in the 2025-2026 academic year, the college began using the "Do More in Four" curriculum, in which students only have to attend classes for four days a week, with four, four credit classes per semester (as compared to the standard five, three credit classes), and the opportunity to earn an undergraduate and graduate degree in four years.
The college's alumni include eight Rhodes Scholars, three governors, four professional football players, and one professional baseball player.
