Programs and Centers - Gonzaga University

Gonzaga's Herak Center for Engineering & Applied Science is poised to help transform the Inland Northwest region by moving us beyond a resource and service-based economy to one that is diversified through technology. Leaders in technology-based companies tell us that our economy must diversify not just to survive, but to thrive. Our engineering & computer science graduates will help attract, retain and grow the technologically based enterprises which will transform the Inland Northwest. The links provided below are just a few of the programs and centers the School of Engineering & Applied Science offers our students and the greater Inland Northwest as partners in education and growing our regions' prosperity.
