For Students
Dominican University of California is grounded in the conviction that an education should not only develop students' professional capacities, but also prepare them to be deeply thoughtful and actively engaged citizens.
- Dominican's campus is situated in the city of San Rafael just a few miles from San Francisco, Berkeley and the East Bay, Napa Valley, and an expansive greenbelt of protected national land.
Dominican’s Office of Student Life and Campus Ministry coordinate many of the services that support the University’s educational mission and enrich students’ personal, social, physical, spiritual, and professional development.
Dominican’s commitment to service learning integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection in order to connect students to their community and enrich the learning experience.
The University’s Office of International Student Services provides students with opportunities to live and learn in foreign countries while earning academic credit, though the University's Study Abroad Program.
Dominican’s athletics teams participate in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the California Pacific Conference (Cal Pac).
