On the University of Idaho's opening day in October of 1892, the school welcomed only 40 students and a faculty of one.

In fact, compared to the four degrees granted to the first graduating class, the University of Idaho has now awarded over 80,000 degrees.

In addition to the 10 colleges that comprise the University of Idaho - and the more than 140 undergraduate programs that range from architecture and computer science, to law and the geological sciences - the school also offers master's, Ph. D., juris doctorate, and specialists degrees. Certificates of completion are also offered in 16 different areas.
