Higher education institutions regularly exchange practices, successes and challenges, and routinely learn from each other. The College of Idaho has established three groupings of institutions for comparison.
- Peer institutions have been selected as most like the College in enrollment (size), curriculum and degrees offered (liberal arts/baccalaureate), and geographic location (suburban/rural).
- Aspirational institutions are similar to peers but recognized as high achieving institutions.
- Regional institutions are similar types of institutions (private/liberal arts) that are located relatively close to the College.
The College of Idaho also has a unique classification according to the Carnegie Classification. Search their website for more information on our specific classifications.
