| About this School |

| History |
|
Albertson College of Idaho was founded in 1891 by Dr. Rev. William Judson Boone with the support of the Wood River Presbytery. It first opened its doors to students on October 7, 1891. In 1893, it was incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho and placed in the hands of a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees. Dr. Boone served as president of the College for 45 years until his death in 1936.
In 1991, the college changed its name to Albertson College of Idaho to honor alumnus and long-time donor Joe Albertson and his wife Kathryn. The name change remains controversial among many alumni.
Albertson College has faced financial challenges in recent years, largely believed on the campus to be caused by former President Kevin Learned. During the summer of 2003, Learned resigned and was replaced by Robert Hoover, who had recently left the University of Idaho.
In late 2002, the college announced that it would be reducing tuition by 30 percent for students entering during the fall 2003 semester in order to increase enrollment.
