Idaho's best public online university, the University of Idaho offers seven online undergraduate and three online graduate degrees, including popular bachelor's programs in history and organizational sciences. All bachelor's programs accept significant transfer credit, making them an attractive option for prospective students who already possess an associate degree. Available master's programs prepare graduates for careers as public administrators, psychologists, and performing artists. Prospective students can review the U of I website to explore careers and learn more about available internship opportunities. Students may also explore the four-year degree plan for each program, an excellent tool that helps learners graduate on time. All degree-seekers meet with an advisor at least once per term, typically before registering for courses. U of I accepts new students in the fall semester, and undergraduate application requirements include ACT or SAT scores. Application materials for graduate applicants vary by program. In-state learners may qualify for up to $4,000 per year in automatic merit-based scholarships; these awards stack with other institutional aid.
