Through the Performing Arts and Social Change minor, you’ll practice creativity, critical reflection and empathy that extend well beyond the stage and into the wider community.

Dominican is one of the few universities in the nation to house a professional theater company on campus, and each year, The Marin Shakespeare Company mounts three main-stage productions in the Forest Meadows Amphitheater.

Admissions and Aid

A degree from a private university like Dominican University of California is more accessible than you might think. For most students there is no application fee and we don't ask for test scores. We're also proud to say that more than 99 percent of our first-year incoming students receive financial aid, which makes paying for school within reach.
