ODU Description

Ohio Dominican's primary mission is to provide degree and continuing education programs for the intellectual development, the growth in truth, of each student. In keeping with the Dominican tradition, educational experiences should be grounded in the liberal arts, foster the development of spiritual, aesthetic, and ethical values, promote physical and mental health, and provide for the development and responsible use of human skills and talents in professional and social service.

Since the quest for truth is a lifelong activity, Ohio Dominican is committed to lifelong learning. Faculty, staff, and students practice this through research, creative activities, community involvement, and professional service. The University also offers non-credit programs and activities on and off campus to further the lifelong education of the Columbus civic and religious communities.

Immersed in the technical progress, new human insights, and searching questions of the twenty-first century, Ohio Dominican University looks forward to helping individuals and society continue the search for truth in the expanding horizons of an unknown future.
