University of Dallas

The University of Dallas: The Catholic university for independent thinkers. Those six words express the essence of this nationally respected liberal arts university.

The 225-acre core campus is powered by a stimulating, intellectual energy. From debates and discussions, rugby games and intramural basketball playoffs, theater productions and community-service projects, UD students enjoy the spirit of an active residential campus life.

The University of Dallas is located in Irving, Texas, a city of 150,000 residents on the northwest boundary of the city of Dallas. In the center of the metroplex, the campus is ten miles from the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, 15 minutes from downtown Dallas and 40 minutes away from Fort Worth.

Texas Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, is four blocks from the University. L.B. Houston Nature Preserve, along the Elm Fork of the Trinity River, forms part of the eastern boundary of the campus.

Since its founding in 1956, the University of Dallas has seen a steady growth in its student body and physical plant. Current enrollment is over 3,000 and there are now 28 buildings on campus.

Since it was founded in 1956, the University of Dallas has been consistently ranked as one of the top liberal arts universities in America. It is one of only eight in Texas to receive Phi Beta Kappa status, and is one of 124 schools nationwide recognized for stressing character development among students.  If you are interested in a serious undergraduate education, we encourage you to apply to the Constantin College of Liberal Arts.

If you seek a business degree, the university's Graduate School of Management is the place to enroll. More than 30 percent of all Dallas-Fort Worth professionals seeking an MBA enroll at the GSM, a pioneer in developing programs that meet changing world market demands.
