Illinois Dominican University

The school became known as Rosary College upon moving to River Forest, Illinois, in 1922 and rapidly grew its enrollment and programs over the next decades, including adding graduate programs and becoming co-educational. 

We offer hundreds of avenues at the undergraduate and graduate levels to explore career interests and experience diverse cultures and international environments. And we organize and support 60-plus projects and learning experiences that contribute effectively to the good of local and global communities.

Undergraduate research is a priority at Dominican. The Office of Undergraduate Research, Scholarship and Creative Investigations (URSCI) promotes student-faculty collaborative research and scholarship.

Funds are available on a competitive basis to:

• Provide a summer stipend to students performing their own independent research,
• Cover research-related travel or supplies, or
• Pay a stipend to students who assist faculty with the faculty member’s research. 

At Dominican, Career Development isn't just an office or a center. It's a process that begins Day 1 of your time here.

Our aim is to see every student and develop a four-year plan incorporating everything from career interests to academic courses, internships, volunteer opportunities and a variety of other experiences to help them become great employees.

Now more than ever, the job market requires new college graduates to be prepared. Not only are new grads competing with their peers for jobs, but in many cases with individuals who already have workforce experience.
