Welcome to the Braniff Graduate School of Liberal Arts

"I have long been a fan of the University of Dallas. Its seriousness of purpose, excellence of scholarship and commitment to teaching are exemplary and, I'm sad to say, increasingly rare." --Bruce Cole, former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

From the Bible and Aristotle to Faulkner and Heidegger, graduate programs at the University of Dallas offer a rigorous study of the greatest texts of the western canon. In fact, the University has the only Ph.D. degree program in the U.S. utilizing a core curriculum in the great books.

In the reference guide, Choosing the Right College, the University of Dallas was hailed "one of the top 100 schools in the country." The National Review ranks the University of Dallas as one of the top 50 liberal arts schools in the nation.
