College of Western Idaho

The College of Western Idaho (CWI) is a public community college located in Nampa, Idaho, approximately 20 miles west of downtown Boise in the Treasure Valley region. Established in 2007, CWI operates a main campus in Nampa and maintains several satellite locations throughout Ada and Canyon counties, including facilities in Boise and Meridian. The college provides open access to higher education, offering associate degrees and career-technical programs with a focus on healthcare, business, manufacturing, and information technology fields. CWI's campus features modern classroom facilities and technical training centers, with many students commuting from surrounding communities as the institution does not provide on-campus housing. The college maintains transfer agreements with Idaho's public universities, facilitating pathway programs for students continuing to four-year institutions.
