Campus & Place

Nestled along the Spokane River, just minutes away from downtown, 91³Ô¹ÏÍø's campus offers a unique mix of natural beauty and urban access. In Spokane, a mid-sized city of about 750,000 people, Zags can enjoy the comfort, outdoor recreation and cost of living of a smaller city, and the employment possibilities, dining and entertainment of a large city. On a given day, a student could rockclimb at Dishman Hills or paddle the Spokane River as part of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø's Outdoor Immersive Learning program, then head to an internship at a downtown business – all without driving more than 15-30 minutes from campus.
