Dear Parents and Prospective Students:

Since its founding, the University of Dallas has been dedicated to the intellectual and spiritual traditions of the Catholic Church. Nationally recognized as one of the premier Catholic liberal arts and sciences colleges in America, the University of Dallas has selected as its chief task the education of leaders.

Our great books core curriculum allows students to encounter and engage the greatest thinkers and ideas of western civilization. A semester spent at our campus in Rome, Italy, complements  the core curriculum for our students. UD’s discussion-oriented classes average 17 students, and the character of the UD education developed in those classes produces critical, independent-thinkers.

UD offers 26 majors and 23 concentrations, as well as 10 pre-professional programs. All areas of study reflect our graduate approach to undergraduate education; as a result more than 90 percent of our pre-law students and over 85 percent of our pre-med students are accepted into their first-choice professional schools. Overall, nearly 80 percent of our graduates eventually pursue advanced degrees.

The fundamental elements and history of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition are woven throughout the core curriculum and indeed, throughout our campus. UD is a place where students will find an intellectual and spiritual experience in perfect accord with each other.

Sincerely,

Dr. Francis M. Lazarus
