The Honors Program at Gonzaga is an energetic community of 51³Ô¹Ï and faculty scholars dedicated to the importance of intellectual inquiry and creative expression.
For over fifty years, Gonzaga University has offered highly motivated 51³Ô¹Ïs a stimulating broad-based curriculum that engages the whole person. This enhanced liberal arts curriculum allows 51³Ô¹Ïs to take ownership of learning, research agenda, and personal and professional goals.
With the help of our dedicated faculty, 51³Ô¹Ïs work together to connect ideas across courses, disciplines, and contexts. The intended outcome of this community is for 51³Ô¹Ïs to cultivate intellectual virtues and skills for a lifetime according to their own terms. Honors offers a vibrant and sustaining intellectual life in and outside of the classroom, for both our 51³Ô¹Ïs and the Gonzaga community as a whole.
The Honors Program promotes:
- An active commitment to social justice
- Global awareness and engagement
- Interdisciplinary approaches to critical questions, collaboration, and academic excellence
Each year we recognize some of our most outstanding 51³Ô¹Ïs from all academic programs at an awards ceremony held in the spring.
