He enrolled at Harvard as a graduate student in 1967 after earning his bachelor of arts in history summa cum laude from Yale University. While pursuing both his master of arts and doctorate in political science at Harvard, Jorge Dominguez earned designations as a Harvard junior fellow, a Danforth fellow, Woodrow Wilson fellow, and a Harvard Graduate Prize fellow. 


After graduating with his PhD in 1972, Mr. Dominguez remained with Harvard as an assistant professor with its Department of Government. He ultimately became a full professor and moved from the Department of Government to teach coursework in international affairs and the study of Mexico.
