Our Students are Diverse

As a Hispanic-Serving Institution, Dominican University prides itself on providing a welcoming community for all students. Many of our students are first generation and come from diverse backgrounds and income levels. We have approximately 3,000 students total representing over 50+ programs and majors. 

Our Students are Movers and Shakers

Our Students Have Relevant Experience

The majority of our students work part- or full-time jobs while completing their degrees, utilizing skills learned in the classroom the very next day. Additionally, many majors and programs require students to complete an internship prior to graduation, which means that they are prepared for employment upon graduation.
