Junior College |

Idaho |
1932 |
|
Episcopalian |
The Episcopal Church
discontinued its sponsorship in 1934 and the college became a nonprofit,
private corporation, sponsored by the Boise Chamber of Commerce and by the
community. In 1939, the State Legislature created a junior-college taxing
district to fund the college through local property taxes. By the end of the
1930s, Boise Junior College boasted an enrollment of 600 students. Originally
located at St. Margaret’s Hall, near the present site of St. Luke’s Regional
Medical Center, the college was moved in 1940 to its present location
alongside the Boise River. In 1965, Boise Junior College became a four-year
institution and was renamed Boise College. In 1969, the college was
brought into the state system of higher education as Boise State College.
The Graduate College was established in 1971 and in 1974 the institution was
renamed Boise State University. |
