Students and Faculty

Each semester, Boise State University enrolls nearly 20,000 students in its academic programs. Students come to Boise State University from every county in Idaho, from nearly every state in the nation, and from numerous foreign countries. The university's urban setting attracts and complements this diverse student body, which includes many nontraditional students as well as traditional students enrolling directly from high school.

Because Boise is the commercial, financial, health care, and governmental center of Idaho there are experiences and opportunities reaching beyond the classroom afforded to you that are unavailable elsewhere in the state. For instance, you can enhance classroom learning and gain valuable work experience by serving as an intern with the State Legislature, government agencies, or one of the many private businesses and industries in the area. In addition, you can attend a wide variety of civic, cultural, and social events hosted by Boise State University.

Faculty members at Boise State University are dedicated to excellence in teaching and in research and creative activity. As a student, you will have the opportunity to work with and study under some of the West's most respected scientists, artists, researchers, and educators.

Student ticket policies to athletic events are listed on the Athletic Ticket Office website.

In addition to helping students learn, Boise State University faculty members are generous in using their expertise to help solve society's problems; they assist business, industry, educational institutions, government agencies, and professional groups with educational programs and research-and-development efforts. The university also works with many organizations in creating and implementing programs to upgrade the knowledge and skills of their employees.
