From the Institution

Dominican University ranks #15 among the Midwest regional universities, according to U.S. News & World Report, which also cited Dominican as #1 in Chicagoland offering a "best value" in college education, #3 in Social Mobility, #6 in Undergraduate Teaching. Small by design, we're rich in resources and opportunities. The average class size is only 17, the student-faculty ratio is 10 to 1, and professors, not teaching assistants, teach all classes. We offer more than 50 academic majors and minors, 20+ master's programs and two doctoral programs. Our beautiful main campus is located in River Forest, just 10 miles west of downtown Chicago.
