Boise State is an innovation engine within higher education. With a deep commitment to learning by doing, we are a university on the move. Historically a community college and traditionally a commuter campus, Boise State has primarily served non-traditional undergraduate and homegrown graduate students while recruiting the non-research active faculty member. As we evolve on our path to becoming a metropolitan research university of distinction, our past experience has developed a unique culture prioritizing student growth--an evolution full of key milestones. A doctoral research institution by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, we have since our last review doubled our research expenditures, tripled our doctoral graduates, and increased our doctoral students by 129%. As a result, Boise State is one of the fastest growing graduate programs in the United States. We are today and tomorrow committed to continuing rapid growth while establishing VIP as institutional ‘glue’ connecting a world class research, education and development culture and institution. Boise State is committed to carving new pathways of education, research, and service -- reimagining the future of higher education.
