Gonzaga University
FACTS & FIGURES
Gonzaga Today The Center of Campus Activity
Who is Gonzaga? Gonzaga is named for the patron saint of youth, Aloysius Gonzaga, who died young trying to save Romans from the plague in the 16th century. Gonzaga University is a Jesuit, Catholic, humanistic university founded in 1887. While basketball programs consistently draw headlines, the heart of Gonzaga centers around nationally recognized and accredited academic programs, our commitment to serving others, and our vibrant community-building approach to college life. “Cura personalis,” or care for the entire person, is a guiding Jesuit ideal here.
The new John J. Hemmingson Center offers food, recreation, academic life, extensive resources and comfort to Gonzaga’s 7,400 students and the broad campus community. From a comprehensive dining service to quick stops at Starbucks, Einstein Bros Bagels, The Bulldog or the Marketplace, students and the community nourish their bodies here. Gonzaga Outdoors offers adventure rental equipment and repair. The Next-GenTech Bar experts offer insight and instruction into the latest in mobile communication, computer hardware and software. Gonzaga’s talented singers and musicians are playing occasionally along Main Street or on the second floor around the piano, and students catch first-run movies in the auditorium. A great place to meet.
Academic Offerings
Gonzaga’s diverse academic programs include 75 undergraduate majors, 26 master’s degree majors, three doctoral programs and a juris doctorate through the School of Law. Undergraduate and graduate programs are housed in the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Schools of Business Administration, Education, Engineering, Nursing and Human Physiology, and Professional Studies. Several graduate courses are also offered online as well.
Sports and Recreation
Lose yourself in the spirit and excitement of Gonzaga basketball. Men’s hoops have made 17 straight trips to the NCAA Tournament and play before soldout crowds for every home game. Women’s basketball has logged seven straight trips to the Big Dance, and averages more than 5,400 fans per home game. Patterson Baseball Complex and Luger Field provide beautiful settings for West Coast Conference baseball and soccer. The new Stevens Center allows tennis players and golfers the opportunity to play and practice year-round. Meanwhile, students participate in 31 intramural sports, several club teams, and with faculty and staff, make 40,000 visits to the Rudolf Fitness Center monthly.
Community Engagement
Gonzaga students offer more than 140,000 hours of volunteer service annually to the community, including pro bono legal counsel under the supervision of attorneys in the Law School, mentoring to improve drop-out rates in Spokane schools, and free on-call assistance through the School of Business to area firms with unmet needs.
