Idaho State University Doctor of Physical Therapy (BA or BS/DPT)
The College of Idaho Cooperative Program in Physical Therapy is an undergraduate-graduate articulation agreement with Idaho State University (ISU).

Idaho State University Dual Degree Doctoral Program in Pharmacy (BS/PHARM.D.) Cooperative Program
The College of Idaho Cooperative Program in Pharmacy is a dual degree program in collaboration with Idaho State University (ISU). Under ordinary circumstances, students will attend The College of Idaho for three years and then enter the Idaho State University Professional Doctor of Pharmacy program (Pharm.D.) for the next four years. When students have successfully completed the first two years of the Idaho State University Doctor of Pharmacy program, they will be granted a Bachelor of Science degree from The College of Idaho. When they successfully complete the final two years of the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum, they will receive a Pharm.D. from Idaho State University.
Entrance into the ISU program is competitive. ISU has offered up to two admission seats to competitive CI students each year. Applicants must have a minimum average GPA of 3.0 to apply to the program, but the average for admission is 3.65. Applicants must apply to the ISU College of Pharmacy – Doctor of Pharmacy program by the application deadline of February 1 of the year in which they intend to begin the program. Due to the competitive nature of this program, students are strongly advised to pursue a complementary major or course of study along with the program prerequisites.
During their course work at The College of Idaho, students will be required to complete 93 credits, including a major and PEAK minors in all four PEAKS (Social Sciences/History and Humanities/Fine Arts), in addition to all of the prerequisite courses for the Pharm.D. program. Please note that ISU only accepts a maximum of 8 credits in religion; therefore, the Religion Minor is not a viable option to fulfill the Humanities/Fine Arts PEAK. The Biomedical Science major is recommended since there is a large degree of overlap between this major and the Pharmacy prerequisites. It is possible that some of the Biomedical Science requirements can be satisfied by courses taken in the Pharmacy program (must be pre-approved). Prospective Pharmacy students should consult the Idaho State University Pharmacy website for the most up-to-date information. The following is a general list of prerequisites subject to revision:
Idaho State University Dual Degree Program in Nursing (BS/BS) Cooperative Program
The College of Idaho Cooperative Program in Nursing is a dual degree program in collaboration with Idaho State University (ISU).

When students have successfully completed the College of Idaho requirements and the ISU Accelerated Nursing Program, they will be granted a Bachelor of Science degree from The College of Idaho and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from ISU.
Entrance into the Idaho State University program, as with all nursing programs, is highly competitive.

The number of positions in the ISU Accelerated Nursing Program is limited. Students who are not accepted into the ISU Accelerated Nursing Program during their senior year may complete a standard degree program at The College of Idaho, and then reapply to the ISU Nursing Program following graduation from The College of Idaho. Information on the ISU application process can be found at their website.
During their course work at The College of Idaho, students will complete 105 credits, including a major and minors in Natural Sciences and Mathematics (NSM), Social Sciences & History (SSH) and Humanities & Fine Arts (HFA), in addition to all of the prerequisite courses for the Idaho State University Accelerated Nursing Program.

Please note that ISU only accepts a maximum of 8 credits in Religious Studies; therefore, the Religious Studies minor is not a viable option to fulfill the Humanities & Fine Arts PEAK.
Transfer students must complete a minimum of 30 credits at The College of Idaho, including at least one major and one minor from HFA, SSH, and NSM. The PEAK requirements for transfer students differ depending on how many credits are transferred. Please see the PEAK for Transfer Students page for details.
