“I think the University of Idaho is probably one of the most accepting institutions I’ve been to. It’s very diverse in its culture and it allowed me to learn so much about other people and cultures and to get a rich experience on this campus. I feel like every international student should get an opportunity to come visit the university.”

Patrick Ngalamulume, Zambia International Studies

Moscow, Idaho

Just minutes away from the beautiful forests, rivers and lakes of northern Idaho, Moscow is a safe and friendly community and home to more than 24,000 residents. Moscow’s historic downtown features many dining, shopping and entertainment options all within an easy 10-minute walk from campus, as well as a renowned farmers market from May through October. There are also movie theaters, malls and numerous parks. Art galleries, specialty stores, coffee shops, Northwest-style pubs and locally owned Italian, Mexican and Chinese restaurants line the streets.

A natural environment like no other When you live and learn in Moscow, you are within driving distance of world-class destinations for skiing, snowboarding, whitewater rafting, biking, climbing, camping and more. The University of Idaho is surrounded by hills, forests and mountains; it’s an area so beautiful it was featured in National Geographic magazine in 2014.

Close to big opportunitiesIf you want a taste of the city, Spokane, Washington and Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, are just an hour-and-a-half drive from Moscow. Seattle, Washington — home to many Fortune 500 company headquarters, such as Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing and Starbucks — is a five-hour drive or a one-hour flight from Moscow.

Undergraduate Global Student Success Program (GSSP)The University of Idaho Global Student Success Program is designed to ensure you gain the necessary skills to excel in your undergraduate degree program.

Program overviewThe Undergraduate GSSP is equivalent to the first year of a bachelor’s degree program. The GSSP consists of for-credit coursework and provides an academic and cultural bridge from your high school experience to studying at a university in the United States. When you successfully complete the GSSP, you will move directly into the second year of your undergraduate degree program.

Undergraduate GSSP courseworkProgram offerings in business, arts, humanities, social sciences, mathematics, agriculture and science include for-credit courses and university study preparation courses. Students who complete the GSSP can earn up to 31 credits toward their undergraduate degree at the University of Idaho.

Program durationStudents may complete the GSSP in two, three or four semesters, depending on academic and English language entry requirements (refer to table on the following page).

To meet the needs of academically advanced students, a two-semester GSSP can help students quickly progress through year one of their degree, while offering the same support and benefits as the three-semester GSSP.
