Academics
The academic offerings at Ohio Dominican are well-rounded, balancing traditional degrees and today’s most in-demand majors and programs. Currently, the university offers 39 bachelor’s degrees in a wide array of studies. It’s also possible to pursue an associate degree, pre-professional program, certificate and licenses, and endorsements at the bachelor’s degree level.
ODU has a decent population of graduate students and the school offers eight graduate degrees aimed at both full-time and part-time students. At the master’s degree level, certificates and licenses are available, along with endorsements. Adult continuing education is also offered through associate degrees, bachelor’s degrees, certificates, and non-degree programs.
Some of the most popular programs include engineering, pre-law, pre-med, pre-nursing, physician assistant, education, sport management, business administration, theology, English, and TESOL. You could also choose to complete 3+2 programs for both law school or engineering through a partnership with the University of Dayton. And ODU offers a Medical School Early Assurance Program.
Students can expect graduation rates of 39% and 46% for four years and six years, respectively. These figures are a bit lower than the national average for private colleges and universities. The reason for lower graduation rates could be directly attributed to the high number of students pursuing professional degrees that take longer than the allotted time frame. The overall retention rate is still good at 61%. Again, this is somewhat lower than the national average; however, many students participating in the 3+2 programs may also transfer before they graduate.
