More than 110,000 college graduates reside in the Boise Valley.

Northwest Nazarene, Boise State University
  • A number of colleges and universities in the region are cultivating an educated and highly-skilled workforce.
  • More than 75 percent of Boise State University graduates and 50 percent of College of Idaho graduates continue to live and work in the Boise Valley.

Other colleges in the region that are turning out educated, skilled workers include Northwest Nazarene University , George Fox University , Stevens-Henager College , Apollo College , University of Phoenix , and BYU-Idaho University. In addition, Boise Valley houses satellite campuses for Idaho State University and University of Idaho.

The Boise Valley also has excellent K-12 schools in several family-oriented communities.

The Valley’s trained and educated workforce is a benefit to us because we are a growing Idaho bank that wants to continue to employ a large percentage of locals. The reason for this is that it enables us to communicate with our customers on a more personal level and to give them the financial services they need and want.
