About the University of Idaho
Peer Institutions
In addition to being land-grant universities, the University of Idaho's 17 peer institutions have a role and mission similar to UI. Criteria for selecting peers include student profiles, enrollment characteristics, total research expenditures, and academic disciplines and degrees. Our peer institutions have common strengths in agricultural sciences, engineering, arts and sciences, and business.
