- In 1956, the University of Dallas was founded on freedom, faith and the classical curriculum of the great European universities. Today, 50 years later, we still hold true to those core values that reflect our commitment to Catholic values and to maintaining the highest academic standards.
- The University of Dallas has developed a core curriculum of approximately twenty-three courses that is based on the "great books" and that specifically includes an in-depth study of western civilization. This is a very powerful curriculum taught by a faculty who are dedicated to the character of the University, who are active and productive scholars, and who teach their students in small sections with rigor, enthusiasm, and personal concern for each student. The quality of our faculty and students and the power of our curriculum led Phi Beta Kappa to grant a chapter to the University of Dallas in 1988, only thirty-three years after the University was founded. No college or university in the twentieth century moved from its founding to approval by Phi Beta Kappa more quickly than the University of Dallas. Few, if any, Catholic colleges can claim the level of academic quality that the University of Dallas has demonstrated and continues to maintain.
- The University of Dallas offers undergraduate degrees through the Constantin College and the College of Business, and graduate degrees through Braniff Graduate School and the Graduate School of Management. The Institute of Religious and Pastoral Studies offer certificate and graduate programs in Catholic School Teaching, Catholic School Leadership, Teological Studies, Religious Education, and Pastoral Ministry.
- A variety of sports activities are provided to nurture the physical well being of the community and to provide an opportunity for students to compete in sports in an educationally sound environment. The University of Dallas currently offers 13 intercollegiate sports for men and women on the non-scholarship, Division III level of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The University offers lacrosse, soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, softball, and track & field for women; while men's sports include soccer, cross country, basketball, baseball, track & field and golf.
- The University of Dallas is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) to award Bachelors, Masters and Ph.D. degrees.
