Features:
Albertson was founded in 1891 as the College of Idaho. It is Idaho’s oldest four-year institution of higher learning. The 50-acre park-like campus is composed of tree-lined paths that join five dormitories, playing fields, academic buildings, an amphitheater, and a student union.
In the past 10 years, six major building projects have transformed Albertson into one of the most beautiful campuses in the Pacific Northwest. The college’s newest facilities include a renovated student union and computer center, a performing and fine arts center, an athletic activities center, an international center, and “The Village,” two apartment-like residence halls.
The campus is also a short drive from ski resorts, high plains deserts, mountains, and whitewater rivers. Other unique and nearby attractions include the Snake River Birds of Prey Area, petroglyphs, and rock climbing opportunities.
Albertson has again been recognized amongst the best liberal arts colleges in U.S. News and World Report, 2006.
