President’s Welcome
Welcome to Dominican University of California where you will discover a student experience that will arouse your curiosity, programs that will help you chart your career, and intellectual ideas that will invite you to explore new pathways.
At Dominican, you will have the opportunity to integrate your academic work with practical application, through service projects, internships, study abroad, research, and leadership programs. We are one of few institutions in the nation holding our students to the highest academic standards while asking them to apply that experience to the community and the world.
As you navigate through this catalog, you will find the policies we use to ensure your degree or credential is of the highest quality. These policies also reflect a strong social and intellectual community, of which you are a part. It is a campus that will both challenge and support you.
In addition to your academic pursuits, there are many ways to become involved in our community and make the most of your experience at Dominican. I encourage you to get to know your peers through student and resident life activities and join your fellow Penguins at our athletics and community events.
We welcome you to our community of scholars, and invite you to review our academic offerings listed in this catalog. Reflect and enjoy considering the variety of possibilities that await you during your time at Dominican!
