Ohio Dominican is a comprehensive, liberal arts and master’s university. It was founded in the Catholic Dominican tradition by the congregation of Dominican Sisters of Peace. The congregation’s motto is, “To contemplate truth and to share with others the fruits of this contemplation.”

We’re not afraid to ask the tough questions so you shouldn’t be, either. With our small class sizes – an average of 16 students per class – you’ll stand out. Your professors will know you by name.

Speaking of our professors, they’re top notch. Eighty-eight percent of our faculty hold the highest degree in their field. You’ll benefit from a values-based education balanced with real-world experience. Unlike larger universities, we focus on you.

You can choose from a wide range of academic programs. So when we ask, “Who do you want to be?”, you’ll have a lot of options from which to choose.

Ohio Dominican offered me the best scholarship and aid package. My tuition is about the same as it would have been at the state university I was considering.

The answer to the question “who do you want to be?” isn’t just found in the classroom. You’ll discover your passion in what you do outside of the classroom as well. It’s in the friendships you form, the opportunities you create and the challenges you pursue.

Want to be a part of campus? Join one or more of our student organizations. Choose from a variety of clubs: professional, artistic, academic, government, community, cultural, religious, media, as well as intramural sports. The list goes on. Do you have an interest that isn’t represented? Grab a few friends and start your own group. Is there an issue you’d like to address or a change you’d like to make happen? Get involved. Test your boundaries. Learn to lead as well as follow. This is your time and this is the place. You’ll be amazed by what you can accomplish.
