貢薩加大學是一所私立的天主教大學，由耶穌會創辦於1887年，是美國耶穌會學院和大學聯合會的28個成員校之一，校名是為紀念年輕的耶穌會士St. Aloysius Gonzaga而命名的。學校由Father Joseph Cataldo創立，1887–1912期間曾被命名為Gonzaga College，之後命名為Gonzaga University。
校園環境
貢薩加大學占地131畝，校園內各色建築多達105棟。其中包括兩座大型圖書館：Foley Center Library和Chastek Law Library。Foley Center Library始建於1992年，是校內本科和研究生學習的主要場所。Chastek Law Library成立於2000年，主要供法學院師生使用。Gonzaga Aerial Photo
學校建有McCarthey 體育中心，這裡經常舉辦籃球比賽。直到1995年，貢薩加大學的男子籃球隊在全美大學生體育協會錦標賽中才得以首次亮相。而在1999年，就以“精英八強”的優異成績成功進軍全美大學生體育協會錦標賽區域總決賽。自此之後，每年的錦標賽中都能看到貢薩加大學男子籃球隊的身影。2010年，我校女子籃球隊“Sweet Sixteen”成立。Gonzaga Life
與眾多小型院校類似的是，1941年秋季，即美國加入二戰前夕，貢薩加大學取消了校園足球項目。而在這裡，學校曾先後培養出兩位職業足球名人堂成員：Green Bay Packers的Tony Canadeo 和Washington Redskins的主教練Ray Flaherty。此外，Flaherty還邀請了前Bulldog隊的球星前來Redskin隊擔任守衛隊員，包括：Ed Justice, George "Automatic" Karamatic和Max Krause等。
