The College of Graduate Studies was formally organized in 1925 (then designated as the Graduate School), but the university has awarded advanced degrees since 1898. The Graduate College encompasses all graduate programs of the university.

As the graduate degree-granting college for the University of Idaho, the College of Graduate Studies combines nationally competitive academic and research opportunities - the kind you’d expect at a large metro institution - with the small town, hands-on approach that will jump start your research and your career.

Located just minutes from the forests, rivers and lakes of northern Idaho, you can easily enjoy the area’s outstanding recreational activities through the university’s award winning Outdoor Program.
