G O N Z A G A U N I V E R S I T Y M i s s i o n S t a t e m e n t onzaga University belongs to a long and distinguished tradition of humanistic, Catholic, and Jesuit education. We, the trustees and regents, faculty, administration, and staff of Gonzaga, are Gcommitted to preserving and developing that tradition and communicating it to our students and alumni. As humanistic, we recognize the essential role of human creativity, intelligence, and initiative in the construction of society and culture. As Catholic, we affirm the heritage which has developed through two thousand years of Christian living, theological reflection, and authentic interpretation. As Jesuit, we are inspired by the vision of Christ at work in the world, transforming it by His love, and calling men and women to work with Him in loving service of the human community. All these elements of our tradition come together within the sphere of free intellectual inquiry characteristic of a university. At Gonzaga, this inquiry is primarily focused on Western culture within which our tradition has developed. We also believe that a knowledge of traditions and cultures different from our own draws us closer to the human family of which we are a part and makes us more aware of both the possibilities and limitations of our own heritage. Therefore, in addition to our primary emphasis on Western culture, we seek to provide for our students some opportunity to become familiar with a variety of other human cultures. In the light of our own tradition and the variety of human societies, we seek to understand the world we live in. It is a world of great technological progress, scientific complexity, and competing ideologies. It offers great possibilities for cooperation and interdependence, but at the same time presents us with the fact of widespread poverty, hunger, injustice, and the prospect of degeneration and destruction. We seek to provide for our students some understanding of contemporary civilization; and we invite them to reflect with us on the problems and possibilities of a scientific age, the ideological differences that separate the peoples of the world, and the rights and responsibilities that come from commitment to a free society. In this way we hope to prepare our students for an enlightened dedication to the Christian ideals of justice and peace. Our students cannot assimilate the tradition of which Gonzaga is a part nor the variety of human cultures, nor can they understand the problems of the world, without the development and discipline of their imagination, intelligence, and moral judgment. Consequently, we are committed at Gonzaga to developing these faculties. And since what is assimilated needs to be communicated if it is to make a difference, we also seek to develop in our students the skills of effective writing and speaking. We believe that our students, while they are developing general knowledge and skills during their years at Gonzaga, should also attain more specialized competence in at least one discipline or profession. We hope that the integration of liberal humanistic learning and skills with a specialized competence will enable our graduates to enter creatively, intelligently, and with deep moral conviction into a variety of endeavors, and provide leadership in the arts, the professions, business, and public service. Through its academic and student life programs, the Gonzaga community encourages its students to develop certain personal qualities: self-knowledge, self-acceptance, a restless curiosity, a desire for truth, a mature concern for others, and a thirst for justice. Many of our students will find the basis for these qualities in a dynamic Christian faith. Gonzaga tries to provide opportunities for these students to express their faith in a deepening life of prayer, participation in liturgical worship, and fidelity to the teachings of the Gospel. Other students will proceed from a nonChristian religious background or from secular philosophic and moral principles. We hope that all our graduates will live creative, productive, and moral lives, seeking to fulfill their own aspirations and at the same time, actively supporting the aspirations of others by a generous sharing of their gifts. 3 GENERAL INFORMATION Teaching Education . .62 Introduction . .4 Literacy . .64 Vision Statement . .7 Professional Certification . .67 Services . .8 TABLE OF CONTENTS Programs of Study . .11 THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE General Academic Information . .12 Transmission and Distribution Program . .71 Tuition and Fees . .14 THE SCHOOL OF PROFESSIONAL STUDIES Financial Information . .14 Communication Leadership Studies . .75 Financial Aid . .15 Nursing . .77 Confidentiality of Records Policy . .16 Organizational Leadership . .87 COLLEGE AND SCHOOLS Doctor of Philosophy in Leadership THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES Studies . .90 Philosophy . .19 Religious Studies . .22 ENGLISH LANGUAGE CENTER THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Teaching English as a Second Language .99 Introduction . .27 SCHOOL OF LAW . .105 Business Administration . .28 SUMMER SESSION . .106 Business Administration in Healthcare GRADUATE FACULTY . .109 Management . .29 ACADEMIC CALENDAR . .116 Accountancy . .38 CAMPUS MAP . .Back cover Business Administration/Juris Doctor . .40 APPENDIX THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION Inquiry form . .117 Introduction . .43 Counselor Education . .44 Community Counseling . .45 Marriage and Family Counseling . .46 School Counseling . .47 Leadership and Administration . .52 Counselling, (site-based) . .48 Anesthesiology Education . .55 Special Education . .57 Sports and Athletic Administration . .61 4 INTRODUCTION There are a total of 381 regular Jesuit, lay, and religious faculties, and all classes are taught by professors, not teaching assistants.
