School of Liberal Arts and Education
We’re creative, critical thinkers. Communicators and performers. Leaders and change makers. The School of Liberal Arts and Education will prepare you for a productive life of resilience, creativity, critical thinking, and resourcefulness.
The School of Liberal Arts and Education (LAE) fosters a deep commitment to the welfare of our global community and a life-long love of learning while providing our students a foundation for personal and professional success.
We offer 10 different undergraduate majors, three graduate degrees and a teacher preparation program. All of our programs allow students to work closely with our outstanding, award-winning professors, in small classes, where every student’s voice counts.
Highly committed to student mentorship and guided by Dominican’s core values of study, service, community, and reflection, our faculty set the standard on Dominican’s campus for engaged learning, as well as for leading local and international educational and service opportunities.
LAE graduates are well-equipped for today’s global job market. Surveys of Fortune 500 companies and major employers in the U.S. suggest that professional success requires organic, cross-disciplinary skills: critical thinking and the ability to capture an idea concisely and articulate it well to others, as well as flexibility and adaptability. All of these are hallmarks of an LAE graduate.
