College of Eastern Idaho (CEI) is a

technical college called Eastern Idaho Technical College. In May 2017, Bonneville County residents voted to create a community college district, allowing Eastern Idaho Technical College to become a community college.[3] In July 2017, the Idaho State Board of Education appointed five community college trustees and completed the transition to community college.[4][5]

The college's divisions include Business, Office, and Technology; Health Professions; Trades and Industry; and General Education. College of Eastern Idaho awards an

GED
testing, and workforce training.

The district of the College of Eastern Idaho includes only Bonneville County. On November 7, 2017, voters in Bingham County had the opportunity to join the community college district. However, the proposal was defeated.[7][8][9]

Enrollment as of summer 2018 stood at 1,300 students.

The catchment area includes all of the following counties: Bonneville, Butte, Clark, Custer, Fremont, Jefferson, Lemhi, Madison, and Teton. Additionally, it includes a portion of Bingham County. Of the counties, one, Bonneville, is in its taxation zone.[10]
