Dominican University New York has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 63%. The average net price after financial aid is $41,832 per year.

Dominican University New York is a private Catholic university in Orangeburg, New York, United States. It is chartered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York and accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Its 64-acre (260,000 m2) suburban campus in Orangeburg is 17 miles (27 km) from New York City in Rockland County.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 57% graduation rate and 67% freshman retention rate suggest a significant number of students either transfer out or struggle to finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. On the plus side, median debt at graduation is a manageable $18,250, and being just 17 miles from New York City opens real doors for internships and networking that a small 1,083-student campus in Orangeburg alone couldn't offer. Worth considering if you're drawn to a close-knit Catholic liberal arts environment and have a clear plan to stay on track — but go in with eyes open about the retention trends.
