At 25% and 53%, its 4 and 6 year graduation rates^[12] are the highest of any public university in Idaho, and it generates 74 percent of all research money in the state, with research expenditures of $100 million in 2010 alone. It is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity".^[13]
