University of Dallas students share a formative experience in studying the great deeds and words of Western civilization together. The Core, is an opportunity to inquire into the fundamental aspects of being and our relationship with God, nature and our fellow human beings.
It’s one thing to read the Great Books, it’s quite another to experience firsthand where many of them took place. In that instant, history comes alive, and our students change forever. This means our Rome Program is more than just a semester abroad.
The light of the Catholic faith illuminates every aspect of life at UD. We support academic and religious freedom and foster spiritual development – no matter the faith tradition – to prepare students for their calling as men and women of faith in the world.
The University seeks to educate its students so they may develop the intellectual and moral virtues, prepare themselves for life and work in a problematic and changing world, and become leaders able to act responsibly for their own good and for the good of their family, community, country, and church.
