Choosing a college is about more than finding the right major. It’s about finding the right environment to grow, belong, and succeed. At Dominican University New York, students discover a close-knit community paired with the academic opportunities and career access of nearby New York City.
Located in Orangetown New York, just 17 miles from Manhattan, Dominican University offers the best of both worlds: a beautiful and safe suburban campus, easy access to internships, cultural experiences, and professional connections throughout the New York metropolitan area. Founded in 1952, Dominican University New York has built a strong reputation for academic excellence, social mobility, and support for first-generation, veteran, and Hispanic students.
Academics at Dominican University are intentionally personal. With a 15:1 student-faculty ratio and small class sizes, professors know their students by name and mentor them toward their goals. The University offers more than 30 undergraduate and graduate programs across in-demand fields such as nursing, business, social sciences, education and health sciences, along with respected doctoral programs in Nursing Practice (DNP), Occupational Therapy (OT) and Physical Therapy (DPT).
Support extends far beyond the classroom. From the moment students arrive, they have an arsenal of resources such as the New Student & Transition Center, Freshman Year Program, Academic Success Center, and Career Development Center. Each providing guidance, tutoring, advising, internship placement, and career preparation, helping students build confidence and direction every step of the way.
Campus life is equally dynamic. Dominican University is home to 19 NCAA Division II teams, a 25,000 square-foot state-of-the-art athletics center with two gymnasiums, a suspended track, a fitness center and a brand-new turf field. Intramurals are available to all students as well as E-Sports, Club Sports and more than 25 student-run clubs. Dominican’s three residence halls offer a safe, comfortable, and inclusive community.
