The University of Dallas is a private Catholic university in Irving, Texas, United States. Established in 1956, it is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
This small Catholic university in Irving is worth considering if you're drawn to a serious liberal arts core curriculum rooted in Western tradition — it attracts genuinely mission-driven students and keeps debt manageable at just $18,478 at graduation. That said, the 68% graduation rate signals that roughly 1 in 3 students don't finish, which is worth asking about during your visit, and median earnings of $51,400 a decade out are modest, so it's a better fit if you're prioritizing intellectual formation over maximizing starting salary.
