Gain a Global Perspective on Work and Life

Interdependence is the new way of the world. More than ever before, nations rely on one another for economic success, military protection and ecological survival. This means that governments and corporations in the U.S. and abroad increasingly need professionals who can cross cultural boundaries. Our graduates serve—internationally and domestically—in a wide range of organizations and agencies in both the public and private sectors, including the U.S. State Department, the World Bank, CARE, the Peace Corps, and the Commission for Environmental Cooperation. They’ve learned to make evidence-based decisions, to act thoughtfully as citizens, and to participate productively in the global economy.

Never in my whole life could I have imagined stepping into the U.S. Capitol Building, walking the halls, speaking with representatives, and taking in the advice they had to give us. I makes me feel so proud of where I am now and where I want to go next.”

Hands-on Learning

The field of international relations and diplomacy is attractive to many bright people; thus, it is extremely competitive. Dominican will enable you to earn a variety of professional advantages—early and often. We strongly recommend that you complete an internship with international agencies in Washington, D.C., and we’ll help you land one. The university’s relationship with the Washington Internship Institute will enable you to spend a full semester learning hands-on in the nation’s capital. You’ll be able to apply all of your financial aid and scholarship funding to this exceptional opportunity.

Learn by Doing. Then, Do Even More.

At Dominican, you’ll acquire the skills in highest demand and of most critical need, and you’ll put them to work—not after graduation, now

Get Ready for a Life of Meaning and Achievement

This major will prepare you to work immediately in the global economy. It also is outstanding preparation for graduate study in law, business, political science and other fields. Our curriculum is designed to foster lifelong intellectual and professional competence. In challenging careers at home and abroad, our alumni know what they’re doing. They’re thoughtful, informed, open to new ideas, skilled at communicating across cultures, and able to adapt and thrive through long and meaningful careers. They have earned their way into leadership positions in the professions of their choice.

Dominican’s scholarship program made my college experience possible. The faculty and community were extremely supportive all the way. They inspired me to pursue a career in the nonprofit sector, helping people less fortunate than me.”
