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, NEH Chairman

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.
