    Congratulations to Idaho State University. The school's College of Business won accreditation for its business and accounting degrees. According to the ISU student newspaper, the school is one of only 167 across the country to receive accreditation in both programs:

    And, finally, it pays to be green.

You’ve gradually expanded ownership of [...]
