Gonzaga University

Gonzaga University provides instruction to more than 7,500 undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, and law students. The school offers about 75 undergraduate majors, more than two dozen master's degree programs, and a doctoral program in leadership studies. The university offers a Juris Doctor degree at its School of Law, one of three in Washington State. The Roman Catholic university is run by the Society of Jesus -- the Jesuits -- and is named after a sixteenth-century Italian Jesuit, Aloysius Gonzaga, the patron saint of youth. The university was founded in 1887. In addition to its main campus in Spokane, Washington, Gonzaga University has a campus in Florence, Italy, where Aloysius Gonzaga lived as a student.
