Ohio Dominican University

As a Catholic liberal arts university in the Dominican tradition, Ohio Dominican University is guided in its educational mission by the Dominican motto: to contemplate truth and to share with others the fruits of this contemplation. Ohio Dominican educates individuals committed to intellectual, spiritual and professional growth, who develop into lifelong learners, serving others in a global society. They in turn become ethical and effective leaders grounded in the pursuit of truth, justice and peace. The Catholic intellectual tradition is inclusive and promotes a rigorous academic life that develops the whole person. We strive to instill a greater purpose for the individual, the community and the world.
