Dominican Undergraduate Curriculum
The undergraduate curriculum consists of three overlapping components:
- Core: A sequence of courses that provide the student with secure foundations, breadth of intellectual vision and integration of the undergraduate academic experience;
- Major: An opportunity to pursue one area of knowledge or discipline in greater depth; and
- Electives: Special forays into that zone of freedom that characterizes liberal learning.
The Core Curriculum consists of:
- Foundations-English, Math, Computer Information and Language
- Liberal Arts and Sciences Seminars-Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior and Senior
- Area Studies-History, Literature, Fine Arts, Natural Science, Philosophy, Social Science, and Theology
- Multicultural Course
