@ Elizabeth. 2 season weather. This university is the best kept secret. I started coming here in '09 and I love it. There is always parking and you are never more than a few minutes away from any class wherever you park. The student to teacher ratio is great and they have some new buildings including the new state of the art library. Awesome, just awesome!

Does Dominguez Hills offer a political science program or something related to a law profession? Does the university live in 4 season weather?

I received my undergrad from DH in Health and Human Services. The small campus/classes and staff made for a personable and supportive environment.
