Gonzaga University is a private, four-year comprehensive university. It is owned and operated by the Society of
Jesus, the Jesuit order of the Catholic Church. Gonzaga'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, "cura personalis," or care for the individual, is our guiding theme.
