A Little History

Boise State has been long been heralded as an institution devoted to classroom teaching, but a new dimension to its mission is emerging — that of a metropolitan research university of distinction. During Boise’s early stages of growth, it was sufficient for the university to play the role of the traditional comprehensive higher education institution with a strong teaching mission and a limited research role.

But as the Boise economy changed into a dynamic marketplace of ideas and products — especially with its highly sophisticated technology sector — and as the city became the heart of a major metropolitan region, it was a natural transition for the city’s university to become a metropolitan research institution.
