Gonzaga Global Team

Gonzaga Global is a partnership between Gonzaga University and Shorelight created to increase international access and enrollment at Gonzaga University. Increasing the number of home languages and cultures on campus diversifies our student body and enhances Gonzaga's mission. The partnership is based on a revenue share agreement wherein Shorelight receives no money up front from Gonzaga.

Some Gonzaga Global students are admitted directly into undergraduate or graduate programs. and others are admitted to a Pathway program based on language proficiency. Pathway students participate in Intensive English Program language courses as well as specific courses in the Core, or their program of study. Shorelight-recruited students are called Gonzaga Global during their first year on campus and are supported by Gonzaga Global staff. All Gonzaga Global students are supported by Gonzaga’s International Students and Scholar Services (ISSS) staff, Gonzaga Global staff, and faculty academic advisors.
