The University of Baltimore marks a milestone this weekend - awarding its first doctoral degree. While the degree might be new, its recipient typifies the adult student the school on Mount Royal Avenue has served for 75 years. Dorine C. Andrews, 54, commuted to the school from Arlington, Va., for the past two years, little knowing how her course of study would change her life. A veteran of the business world - she was a pioneer in helping companies cope with technology - she is taking her doctorate in communication design and joining the faculty at Georgetown University.
