Learning that's fresh, individual, compelling-that's Dominican University. If you're searching for a rigorously intellectual and professionally indispensable education, you haven't finished looking until you've considered Dominican.

We rank in the top tier of Midwest regional universities, according to U.S. News & World Report-which also cited Dominican as a best value for five years in a row.

Small by design, we're rich in resources and opportunities. Classes average only 25, the student-faculty ratio is only 11 to 1 and professors, not teaching assistants, teach all classes.

Dominican is a Catholic university committed to independent thought and respect for divergent opinions. Whatever your personal beliefs, you'll appreciate our value-centered approach to education that embraces the whole person. We offer more than 50 academic programs, nine pre-professional programs and four graduate schools in library and information science, business, education and social work. Our beautiful main campus is located in River Forest, just 10 miles west of the Loop. We also offer classes in 12 other locations to make our programs as accessible as possible.
