Dear Prospective Students,

Gonzaga's business programs challenge each student to be an active participant in what may be one of the most important life ventures that can be undertaken. We are committed to helping students acquire the knowledge and leadership skills that are essential for success in one's professional career and personal life.

We create a learning environment where students acquire the ability and confidence to analyze and solve problems and to act decisively in a dynamic business world. The curriculum is reviewed often to ensure a relevant education that meets the diverse needs of students and businesses.

Our students work with a well-educated, well-informed, and dedicated faculty who bring to the classroom the models and business practices from which managerial and entrepreneurial decisions are made. Coursework requires student involvement in strategic planning, interpersonal communications and relations, operations, and information management in simulated business environments, to mention a few.

I invite you to visit the School of Business, meet our faculty, and let us show you what our programs are all about.
