What You'll Learn & Experience

Graduating men and women for others who respect and “care for the planet” is of central importance to Gonzaga’s mission, the Jesuit charism, and the world. Gonzaga is committed to sustainability across the curriculum.

  • Explore intellectual and spiritual groundings of principles in classroom environments
  • Participate in service-learning opportunities that connect academic lessons to the world

The Gonzaga Difference

In the Catholic, Jesuit and Humanistic traditions, your learning prepares you to work toward a more just world. You’ll cultivate an understanding of what it means to be human, to experience a well-lived life, to find your role in a more humane global community.

Your educational journey expands year by year with these principals of our Core curriculum:

  • Understanding and creating
  • Being and becoming
  • Caring and doing
  • Imagining the possible

You’ll also uncover the richness of interdisciplinary studies, where courses blend biology and dance, faith and science, politics and literature. All to equip you for the next part of your journey, where purpose and potential evolve.
