Denim Day is an international movement to support survivors and protest the misconceptions that surround sexual violence.

Dominican University Sets New Records for Admissions Applications and Acceptances

Dr. Manuel Martinez, President of Dominican University New York, speaks with current students on campus.

Dominican University has set new records for both the number of admissions applications received, and the number of acceptance offers extended for the upcoming academic year. Prospective students submitted 74.65% more applications this year as compared to 2021 when applications had dropped because of the COVID pandemic. In addition, 73.98% more student applications were accepted this year, compared to four years ago.

“This surge in applications reflects the growing recognition of Dominican University as a top choice for higher education,” said Nick Marter, Executive Director of Admissions. “We love that more students are saying yes to DUNY.”

The heightened demand underscores Dominican University’s reputation for academic excellence, innovative programs, and a student-centered approach. As more students seek a dynamic and supportive learning environment, Dominican University continues to stand out as a leader in preparing graduates for success.
