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.

Academic Offerings

Gonzaga’s diverse academic programs include 75 undergraduate majors, 25 master’s degree majors, two 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, and Nursing and Human Physiology.

Several graduate courses are also offered online as well.

Men’s hoops have made 16 straight trips to the NCAA Tournament and play before soldout crowds for every home game. Women’s basketball has logged six straight trips to the Big Dance, and averages more than 5,500 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 28 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.
