Faculty

Dominican’s student-to-faculty ratio of 12 to 1 assures individualized instruction. Small class size enables students to have direct contact with their professors, inside and outside of class. Close interaction with faculty, who are active researchers and interested in current developments in their fields, helps the Dominican University student develop individual interests while acquiring a broad knowledge in his/her major field.

At Dominican University, professors teach their own classes––there are no video lectures or teaching assistants. Faculty members have chosen to be at Dominican because of the university’s strong commitment to teaching. Professors in biology, chemistry, environmental science, political science and business hold advanced degrees from such institutions as University of Chicago, Northwestern University, University of Notre Dame, University of Illinois, Columbia University, Indiana University, University of Minnesota and University of Wisconsin.
