Academic Innovation and Excellence

At Dominican we integrate the liberal arts and humanities with science and professional programs.

The hallmark of our innovative curriculum is The Dominican Experience, an evidence-based approach to educating the whole student. Through this program every undergraduate student will:

• Work with an integrative coach throughout all four years
• Engage with the community through service, fieldwork, internships, or global experiences
• Complete a signature work, such as a research project, an art exhibit, or a business plan
• Craft a digital portfolio that captures the academic journey
