Overview of Gonzaga University
Founded in 1887, Gonzaga University is a top tier institute of higher learning located in Spokane, Washington. In 1986, the University established a Master of Arts Program in Organizational Leadership. Owing to the advances in distance learning technology, Gonzaga subsequently launched an online version of this program and followed up by adding three additional advanced online degree programs: a Master of Arts in Communication and Leadership Studies, and two Master of Science in Nursing programs. Gonzaga's online students are now able to receive the same degree as those students who attend classes on campus.

Online courses at Gonzaga are offered on a unique eight-week class schedule, as opposed to the campus 15-week class schedule. A typical course has 20 students with the class split into two discussion groups of 10 each. All coursework can be completed entirely online with the following exceptions: For both the Masters-Organizational Leadership and Masters-Communication and Leadership Studies programs, students are required to come to campus for one three-day weekend as part of one of the program's course requirements. The session, which can be satisfied on the student's own chosen timetable, is offered at least once every term (5-6 times per year). The online Nursing programs each have residency requirements but they vary depending on the concentration being pursued.
