Our small private college has a student population of about 1,800 (1,200 undergraduate and 600 graduate). 'Dominican became a designated Minority Serving Institution (MSI) which is representative of President Pitchford’s goal of “educating for ethical action.” In the past decade, the university has developed integrated programming and support equally accessible to students from all backgrounds. The nationally-recognized Dominican Experience enables all students to engage in high-impact practices that deliver a network of full support to nurture deep learning and achievement' (Learn More).
