From the Institution

The College of Southern Idaho (CSI), represents a shared vision and a collaborative effort of the citizens of South-Central Idaho. In 1963, the Idaho Legislature passed the Junior College Act, which provided for the establishment of junior college districts. Twin Falls County voted to form a junior college district in November 1964. The following year Jerome County citizens voted to join the junior college district. CSI is funded by the two-county community college district, student tuition and fees, and state allocations, and operates under the direction of a locally-elected five-member Board of Trustees in cooperation with the Idaho State Board of Education. The College of Southern Idaho's mission is to provide quality educational, social, cultural, economic, and workforce development opportunities that meet the diverse needs of the communities it serves. The college offers more than 110 completion options within over 80 associate degree and certificate programs, serving students in both career-technical and transfer education. The college also offers one Bachelor of Applied Science degree. Additionally, CSI provides workforce training opportunities to its students, along with basic skills, Adult Basic Education, and English as a Second Language courses for students requiring pre-college-level work. Faculty teach in a variety of modalities including face-to-face in traditional classrooms, online, and via an interactive microwave system. CSI partners with sister public post-secondary institutions in Idaho, which offer more than 50 bachelor's, master's, and other terminal degrees for students on the CSI campus or via online delivery. CSI is also active within its community, offering various enrichment courses, cultural and athletic events, business partnerships, and supporting economic development. The institution was initially accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) in 1968 and has had its accreditation continuously reaffirmed by NWCCU.
