History of Boise State University
Boise State University was founded in 1932 as Boise Junior College by the Episcopal Church. After two
years the school became independent, and, in 1940, moved from St. Margaret's Hall to its present site along the south bank
of the Boise River between Capitol Boulevard and Broadway Avenue.[2]
In 1965, the school gained four-year status and began awarding baccalaureate degrees. Four years later, the school joined the
Idaho state system of higher education and was renamed Boise State College. In 1974, the school gained university status to
become Idaho's third state university. Boise State has grown to become the largest university in the state. Boise State
now awards associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees, and is accredited by the Northwest Commission on
Colleges and Universities
Homecoming
Each Fall, Boise State alumni are invited to come home to Boise State.
The Student Alumni Association participates in the parade down Broadway and University, paints
faces at the Bronco Bash tailgate parties, and assists wherever the Alumni Association needs
help.
