Undergraduate Research and Creative Investigations
The Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Investigations (URCI) builds upon the instruction in information literacy and research methods undergraduates receive through the Core Curriculum and the major field, and seeks to enhance the spirit and practice of inquiry occurring already across the curriculum. The URCI office promotes undergraduate student-faculty collaborative research in all disciplines, offering students opportunities to engage in scholarly activities that go beyond regular class assignments. It administers a variety of initiatives to support undergraduate students involved in scholarly projects. Many of these initiatives are awarded on a competitive basis.

For example, the Undergraduate Summer Scholar Program provides selected undergraduate students with a stipend to support their independent scholarly projects or creative investigations completed during the summer under the supervision of a faculty mentor; and Undergraduate Research Support Awards are awarded every semester to help defray the costs of independent student projects and student travel to professional conferences.

Undergraduate Study Abroad
The director of international studies supervises all of Dominican University's undergraduate study abroad programs: the Semester-in-London Program, the Summer-in-Florence Program, the Milan Program, the Salamanca Program, the Nantes Program, the Buenos Aires Program, the South Africa Program, the Limerick, Ireland Program, the Salzburg, Austria Program, the Paris Fashion Program and faculty-led short term programs in Rome, El Salvador, London, China, Ghana and Venezuela. Dominican University also offers Service Learning Abroad opportunities in Mexico and El Salvador.

International Student Advising
The international student advisor assists F-1 and J-1 visa students with their nonacademic concerns, particularly US immigration matters. All new F-1 and J-1 students should see the international student advisor within the first two weeks of registration to obtain a Dominican University I-20/DS 2019 or to record the date of entry on the I-20 sent to you by Dominican University. Information regarding immigration, campus housing, travel, health insurance and Dominican services is available in this office.

Career Development
Beginning the freshman year and extending beyond graduation, Career Development actively assists students of all majors with career-related issues, educating them about the career planning process, internships, job search strategies and the facilitating the graduate/professional school application process as they transition from college to career.  The center provides in-house publications on resume writing, cover letters and job-search strategies, as well as workshops on these career-related topics.  Students and alumnae/i can access employment opportunities, including full-time, part-time and internship opportunities, through many resources. To meet the needs of all students and alumnae/i, career advising is available in person, by telephone, and through email.

Students in their Junior and Senior year of study are eligible to receive academic credit for participating in the internship program.  Internships expose students to the world beyond the boundaries of the campus, enhancing their self-awareness and aiding them in their career choice. In addition, students may gain valuable job leads through their internships. As a result of internships, students have a better understanding of work and the challenges and demands of various careers. With this understanding, they can examine and refine their goals and make more appropriate and informed occupational decisions.

Career development is accessible at www.careers.dom.edu, where a wide variety of links offer career information to students and alumnae/i.
