Dominican University College was founded in Ottawa, in 1900, modeled on the study centres of the Order of Preachers, as the centre of graduate studies for Canadian Dominicans.

Holding a civil university charter since 1967, the college is open to any person interested in philosophy and theology. In Ottawa, its Faculty of Philosophy and Faculty of Theology offer the full range of programs, from certificate to doctorate. The Institut de pastorale, located in Montreal, offers its degrees in pastoral studies.

The undergraduate program in philosophy, offered in French and in English, has a distinct character and comprises both the systematic study of the principal schools of thought as well as major philosophical themes. Likewise, the undergraduate program in theology, also offered in both languages, aims to provide a solid general education by ensuring direct contact with biblical,

historical, patristic and liturgical sources.

In philosophy as well as in theology, the graduate programs favour a more advanced education, with emphasis on the improvement of work methods, on the capacity for personal reflection and on the disciplined exchange of ideas.

The Dominican University College is heir to a long university tradition. It is recognized for the quality and rigour of its intellectual instruction, for its personalized study assistance, as well as for a climate that fosters the exchange of ideas and human interaction in a closely-knit community.
