Dominican is one of the few institutions in the nation holding our students to the highest academic standards while asking them to apply that experience to the community and to the world. You will have the opportunity to integrate your academic work with practical application, through service projects, internships, study abroad, research, and leadership programs.
The 2019-20 academic year sees the introduction of a new curriculum designed to preserve the best of the university’s academic resources while building new programs, partnerships and initiatives that respond to current needs and prepare students for a rapidly changing world and workplace.
Our new curriculum provides students with greater flexibility in determining the course of their education, while remaining open to pursuing new ideas and experiences. We offer a core curriculum defined by skills and competencies that align with the Dominican Experience. The result will be a personalized and broad intellectual journey.
