Why Gonzaga’s Model Matters

Gonzaga expects whole-person growth—intellectual rigor plus ethical judgement. International students should coordinate CPT co-ops early with international student advisers.

Global And Career Opportunities

Spokane’s health systems, aerospace supply chain and logistics employers hire interns. Seattle and Portland expand tech and sustainability internships for summers with housing plans.

How To Make The Most Of Gonzaga

Students should:

• Complete one immersion trip or intensive service block
• Secure two technical or clinical experiences before senior year
• Present research or design work at campus symposia
• Join one professional society with conference travel goals

Gonzaga rewards students who link Jesuit reflection logs to résumé metrics.
