Summer AP Institutes: Every summer the University of Dallas holds Advanced Placement Summer Institutes for Teachers.

Humanities Master's Programs: The Master's Program in Humanities is designed to make available the wide range of graduate courses in the humanities that are offered by the various departments of the University. The intention of the program is, first, to give students the opportunity to pursue their interests in different fields without commiting themselves to earning a degree in any one field alone, and, second, to encorage the careful reading of a limited number of great works of Western thought.
