Boise State University, Boise

Boise State University stands as a dynamic academic and cultural center. Established in 1932, the institution has evolved from its Episcopal roots into a comprehensive public research university offering associate to doctoral degrees. Its 285-acre campus stretches along the scenic south bank of the Boise River, just across from Julia Davis Park, and is framed by Capitol Boulevard and Broadway Avenue. Once the site of the city’s airport in the 1930s, the grounds are now home to over 170 buildings, blending educational heritage with forward-looking innovation.

A highlight of campus life is the iconic Albertsons Stadium, famous for its blue turf and a key venue for major events, including the long-running Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. The adjacent Albertsons Library serves as a major academic resource, offering extensive collections, digital access, and collaborative workspaces.
