For the ninth consecutive year, The College of Idaho has earned inclusion in the prestigious Fiske Guide to Colleges, an annual publication that examines the top colleges and universities in the nation and elsewhere.
One of the top independent voices in college admissions, the Fiske Guide to Colleges is compiled annually by former New York Times education editor Edward B. Fiske as a resource for college bound students and their families to take an insider’s look at more than 300 four-year schools in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The guide is thoroughly updated each year with extensive profiles for each school, including feedback from current students.
“With an emphasis on education and experiential learning, The College of Idaho … offers students an opportunity to earn a solid liberal arts education through small classes in a small town,” the 2020 edition of the Guide says. “Outside class, the school’s scenic environment allows sports and nature enthusiasts to explore freely before heading back into the classroom.”
The College received kudos for its PEAK curriculum and Financial Aid department. The Guide also published positive feedback it received from students about the College’s Campus Safety department, Simplot Dining Hall, and the Outdoor Program.
The College of Idaho is once again the Guide’s only liberal arts college selected between the Rocky Mountains and the west coast.
The 2020 Fiske Guide to Colleges is available to purchase through Amazon.
