ISU History
ISU has gone through several name changes since it first opened in 1901 as the Academy of Idaho. As the enrollment of the college grew, it changed to the Idaho Technical Institute in 1915.
During the 1920s, it adopted the bengal tiger as a mascot. This is usually credited to the fact that one of the early coaches was from Princeton whose colors are black and white and, also, have a tiger for a mascot.
In 1927, it had another name change to become the University of Idaho – Southern Branch.
In 1947, it evolved again into Idaho State College and became a four-year school. However, it wasn't until 1963 that it finally received the name of Idaho State University.
Today ISU stands as a landmark of education and higher living for those calling Idaho home.
