Gonzaga University is one of the private, four-year comprehensive Washington universities. Gonzaga University's educational philosophy is based on the 450-year Ignatian model that aims to educate the whole person -- mind, body and spirit -- an integration of science and art, faith and reason, action and contemplation. At Gonzaga University, one of the country's Jesuit Universities, "cura personalis," or care for the individual, is the guiding theme.

Gonzaga University was founded in 1887, and enrolls about 5,400 students in 92 undergraduate and 21 graduate programs. The Gonzaga School of Law is one of three Washington universities. Gonzaga University is located in Spokane, Washington, a metropolitan city of 400,000 people, which serves as the financial and cultural center of the inland northwest section of the United States. Gonzaga University's campus is situated on 108 acres along the beautiful Spokane River, within a 10-minute walk of downtown Spokane. Spokane enjoys a population of 190,000 within city limits, and more than 400,000 in the greater Spokane area.

Not only is Spokane Gonzaga University's home, it is a vital and dynamic part of the Gonzaga University's character. The city offers vast opportunities for students to pursue their interests, whether they are in internships with local businesses or in any of the multitude of outdoor activities characteristic of the magnificent Pacific Northwest.
