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). In 2009, the school will participate as an exploratory NCAA Division II program. The men compete in soccer, basketball, golf, and lacrosse. The women compete in volleyball, soccer, basketball, softball, golf, and tennis.

Want to let off steam and meet new friends? Our intramural program offers fun activities for all students, including Aikido, badminton, and dodge ball. The Conlan Center features a gymnasium with two full-sized basketball courts, a-seven lane swimming pool, a fitness center, and nearby tennis courts.

Career and Internship Services works to secure students internships and jobs with some of the Bay Area’s leading organizations, including Autodesk, the Buck Institute for Age Research, CBS Radio, Deloitte & Touche, Fair Isaac, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Harper Collins Publishing, Harvard Medical School, KPMG, Levi Strauss & Co., Lucasfilm, Oakland Raiders, Pixar, San Francisco Giants, UCSF Medical Center, and the World Affairs Council.
