History
Dominican University New York was founded as Dominican College of Blauvelt in 1952 by the Dominican Sisters of Blauvelt[3] to offer a teacher preparation program for religious women. Five years later, the college was opened to lay students. In 1967, it became fully coeducational.[4]
On May 17, 2022, the New York State Board of Regents approved the name change from Dominican College to Dominican University New York.[5][6]

The Dominican athletic teams are called the Chargers.[7] The university is a member of the Division II ranks of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), primarily competing in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) for most of its sports since the 1982–83 academic year. They are also a member of the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) for some sports.[citation needed]
