Dominican University of California
The Dominican University of California is an independent Catholic university located in Marin County, California. Established in 1890 by the Dominican Sisters of San Rafael, the university has long been recognized as a school with excellent reputation in academics, research and community service.
The Dominican University offers over 60 academic programs for undergraduate, graduate and extended education. The wide variety of majors clearly indicates the diverse strength of the school’s faculty members and students. By focusing on interdisciplinary studies, students are able to look beyond their particular pursuits to explore new avenues of personal development. The small number of students per class, on the other hand, allow for a more focused support by faculty members for the students’ ongoing area of specialization.
The Dominican University has over 2,100 enrolled students and 193 faculty members. The student to faculty ratio is 11 to 1.
Total tuition and fees package for academic year 2009-2010 for full-time undergraduate students who live with parents is US$44,058 and US$50,352 for those who live on- or off-campus. For part-time students, tuition cost is US$1,400 per unit. For graduate and credential students, the total cost of admission for 2009-2010 does not only include tuition and fees but also allowances for room and board, books and supplies, transportation and personal expenses. This totals US$25,268 for two semesters for students living with parents and US$31,562 for two semesters for students living on campus. Financial aid via loans, grants, scholarships, and part-time work arrangements is extended by the university to help students with the cost of admission.
