Founded in 1956, the University of Dallas is an independent Catholic private university located in Irving, Texas, accredited by the Association for Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and the Association of Colleges and Schools of the South. By US. News & amp; World Report , 80% of 2010 graduates participate in an international program, which is the sixth highest percentage of students from higher education institutions in the US to study abroad.
Since at least the late 1960s, the University of Dallas has been consistently cited as one of the leading Universities for Catholic orthodoxy and traditional academic excellence. The university is particularly praised for its conservative cultural perspective by many prominent voices in political conservatism for much of its history. William F. Buckley, Brad Miner, and Pat Buchanan are just some of America's conservative leaders who have spoken at UD for years.
The university consists of four academic units: the Graduate School of Liberal Art Braniff, Liberal Constantin Art College, Satish & amp; Yasmin Gupta College of Business, and School of Ministry.
Dallas offers several master's degrees and three-concentration doctorates. There are 136 permanent teachers and 102 part-time teachers, and the school has a 11: 1 student-to-faculty ratio.

Histori
The Dallas University charter dates from 1910 when the Western Provincial Mission Congregation (Vinsensius) renamed Holy Trinity College in Dallas, founded in 1905. The Province of the West Province closed the university in 1928, and the charter was returned to the Diocese of Dallas. In 1955, the Western Province of the Sisters of Santa Maria of Namur acquired it to create a new institution of higher education in Dallas that would donate their junior college, Our Lady of Victory College, located in Fort Worth. The sisters, together with Eugene Constantin, Jr. and Edward R. Maher, Sr., petition the Dallas diocese to sponsor the university, although ownership is entrusted to the self-perpetuating independent board.
The University's character is determined from its first day as unlike other Catholic universities in Texas and in reality unlike most Catholic academies across the country because of Bishop Gorman's understanding of how great the University is. This understanding is largely derived from his own European education between the war in Louvain, the Catholic University of Belgium is often regarded as the largest Catholic University in the world.
"Bishop Gorman, as chancellor of the new university, announces that it will be a Catholic coeducational institution that welcomes students of all religions and races and offers work at the undergraduate level, with graduate schools to be added as soon as possible.The new university of Dallas opened for nine six students in September 1956 on an area of ​​1,000 acres of hills northwest of Dallas. "
The Sisters of Saint Mary of Namur, the monks of the Cistercian Order (Cistercians), the brothers of the Order of Friar Minor (Franciscans), and some lay professors form the original faculty of the university. The Franciscan departed three years later; however, the monks of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) joined the faculty in 1958 and built St. Albert the Great Priory on campus. The Cistercians founded Our Lady of Dallas Abbey in 1958 and the Cistercian Preparatory School in 1962, both adjacent to the campus. The Sisters of the Notre Dame School arrived in 1962 and opened a Notre Dame Special School for children with learning difficulties in 1963 and a holding house for Dallas Province in 1964, both on campus. The sisters moved the school to Dallas in 1985 and closed the holding house in 1987. The faculty is now almost exclusively located and includes some of the leading scholars.
Grants from the Blakley-Braniff Foundation founded the Braniff Graduate School in 1966 and enabled the construction of the Braniff Postgraduate Center. The Constantin Foundation both blessed undergraduate colleges, and, in 1970, the Supervisory Board named college graduate of Constantin College of Liberal Arts. The Graduate School of Management, started in 1966, offers a great MBA program. The program in art and English also began in 1966. In 1973, the Institute of Philosophy Studies, a doctoral program from the Graduate School of Braniff and the results of the Kendall Politics and Literature Program, began. The School of Ministry began in 1987. The College of Business, combining the Gupta Graduate School of Management and undergraduate business, opened in 2003.
Since the first class in 1960, university graduates have won significant awards, including 39 Fulbright awards.
Accreditation by the Association of Colleges and Colleges of the South came in 1963 and has been reaffirmed regularly. In 1989, it was the youngest institution of higher education ever given the chapter Phi Beta Kappa.
The University briefly considers a major expansion into adult education by 2017. The idea proved unpopular in many faculties and sheltered.
In January 2018, after more than one year of search, the UD Supervisory Board selected Dr. Jonathan J. Sanford as Provost of the University of Dallas. Sanford had served for two years previously as Dean of Constantine College where he gained a reputation for bold support for the academic ideas of establishment and orthodox Catholic character from the University of Dallas. his recruitment marked a startling change when it occurred after two failed national searches where the search committee chose a finalist strongly opposed by the university faculty or who was rejected by President Keefe. The Frustration Liberator intervened and pressed President Keefe to elevate Sanford's immense popularity despite the fact that he had been rejected by a second search committee.
President Keefe, like his two predecessors, was hired despite having little experience with an unusual type of conservative liberal arts school at the University of Dallas. Like his predecessor, he quickly experienced controversy as he oversaw efforts to adapt the way the university operates to a more peculiar type of Catholic and distinctive academic program. By 2017, his leadership is challenged by more than half the faculty and thousands of alumni members of an independent alumni group called UD Alumni for Liberal Education. Their complaint is a proposal to add a new college at the university that is believed to imply standards. After almost endless controversy and various attempts by the Supervisor to rule in controversy, on Good Friday 2018, after an extended and unexplained absence from work, the university's guardians chose to sack Thomas W. Keefe as an effective university president at the end of academia. year.

Cistercian Role
Bishop Thomas Gorman wrote as early as 1954 to Father. Anselm Nagy, O. Cist. to ask the Hungarian Cistercian father who was abandoned from Zirc Monastery, Hungary to come help in founding the University. On the first day of classes in September 1956, 9 Cistercian fathers, half of the entire faculty, were hired at the new University. Led by Father Anselm Nagy, these Communist Hungarian refugees carry an unimaginable level of education by a new college in southern Protestant. And UD's history to this day is closely linked to the two established Cistercian priests and many more Hungarians who will move to Dallas over the next decade and begin teaching at UD.
In a 2008 interview for Cistercian Prep School magazine, a longtime UD employee Sybil Novinski said, "To be able to start university with an intelligent and educated monk, with a tradition that reaches back to the 11th century, is amazing. aspiration is strongly influenced by the Cistercian, and everyone knows that, even then. "
UD's first Academic Dean, Dr. Gene Curtsinger says, "I'm sure we can make it without them, we'll just be much more and more slowly, they're an incredible group of men."
Donald and Louise Cowan
In the spring of 1959, Louise and Donald Cowan were recruited to come bringing their teaching excellence to their respective departments of English and Physics. In his 2006 speech, Louise Cowan recounted her encounter in this way: "When the University completed its third year, and Gene Constantin, Ed Maher, Bishop Gorman, and Ms.gr Maher took the Don and me for dinner, told us their expectations. which they, together with the Sisters of Mary of Namur, have been established They want to make a difference in America and the world We see that we share with them piety towards the ideals of our nation (actor of the mind has become rare) and the belief that we witnessing the end of a long cultural era. We all agree that the hope for our national ideals and indeed the world lies in American education.Later, like them, we hold the belief that not a college, but only a very good university, even if small, can make a difference in state education schemes. "
Louise Cowan explains that the unique curriculum that defines UD in this way in the same 2006 speech to the faculty "We understand a Catholic university as an opportunity for generosity on the part of the Church - the great texts of the past that have been preserved in Christian culture and now in danger is lost again, a definite treasure as a collection of art at the Vatican museum, and this means, of course, we understand the main task of Catholic universities as education, not specifically religious.We all agree - Bishop also, who has earned his doctorate in Louvain - that the kind of liberal learning that has developed ecclesia ex corde is something the Church can offer to a world in desperate need of it. "
"Convinced that we would have the freedom to plan the curriculum if we came here, Don and I imagine what can be done with Catholic higher education.If we do a lot with this new school, we explain it, it must be a real university dedicated to liberal learning for all of its students The world does not need another good college We are very excited to develop an innovative program that will provide the whole school of pure education, because we feel confident that such a curriculum will trigger sparks, spread into a kind of fire storm , and finally illuminated the whole nation.We have turned to Catholicism in 1956 and have taught at Vanderbilt before coming to TCU Our idea of ​​education has been shaped by our friendship with Southern Agrarians, along with Newman, Dawson, Maritain, Gilson, and intense reading in brilliant theology t in the forties and fifties - de Lubac, Guardini, Sertillanges, Rahner, John Courtney Murray - as well as CS Lewis and TS E liot. All of these writers care about the relationship of truth to culture. And all recognize that the culture we take for granted has decreased. "
Louise Cowan was employed that summer to run the English department and in that role she devised a series of Literary Traditions from four courses that were the core of the text-based core curriculum developed in the first few years of the 1960s and which would take place. to establish UD education from now on.
Donald Cowan was also hired in 1959 to teach Physics. At the end of the sixth year of the University, when the school stands out despite the controversial President 2, Robert Morris, leaving the UD, Dr. Donald Cowan was asked by the Supervisory Board to become President of the college.
From 1962 until his resignation in 1977, Donald Cowan was the UD leader and defined the strength. With his wife's charismatic personality and his collaboration with the Supervisory Board, the University of Dallas became a leading national school especially in the world of classical learning and orthodox Catholicism.
"Under Donald Cowan, the university establishes its mission as a place of intellectual inquiry rooted in Catholic philosophy and the spiritual worldview"
In the years they had been together in the UD, Clans built a very good relationship between rich and strong Dallas residents. Although some are sometimes regarded as a tribute given to Cowan by the high society to be a bit too strong, there is no doubt that the Cowans left a good mark on campus and in the Dallas community which lasted long after their official leadership ended in the late 1970s.
After Don Cowan's resignation in 1977, there was a period of about a decade in which Cowan people had no role at UD, but they returned in 1989 and Louise returned to teaching classes in Russian Novels and advised graduate students at the Graduate School Braniff. Donald Cowan was less visible in those years. He died in 2002. Louise continued to talk and interact with students at UD almost until his death at the age of 98 years on November 16, 2015.
Governance and leadership
With tradition starting with the founding of Chairman and Chancellery Supervisory Board, Bishop Thomas Gorman, UD is a layman university with only nominal involvement by Bishop of Dallas. Although religious priests and sisters have played a role in teaching at UD throughout its history, the University has not been controlled by any of them. Nor is it controlled by the diocese of Dallas.
The University of Dallas is governed by a supervisory board, currently headed by Joseph C. Murphy. According to university regulations, the bishop of Dallas is a member of the ex-officio voting.
Edward Burns, bishop of the diocese of Dallas, currently serves as chancellor. The office, hosted by a Catholic bishop per university constitution, is an unpaid position of honor.

Kampus
The university is located in Irving, Texas on a 744 hectare (301 acre) campus, in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The development of Las Colinas is close by. It is 10 miles (16 km) from downtown Dallas. The campus is largely composed of a brown, modern brown brick building located in the middle of Texas's original landscape. Some of these buildings were designed by renowned Texas architect O'Neil Ford and his colleagues. The mall is the center of the campus, with the Tower of Braniff Memorial as high as 187.5 feet (57.15 meters) as its focal point.
Although the university is Catholic, the exterior of most campus buildings is not characterized by an explicit religious design. Perhaps reflecting the prevailing bias against medieval modern architecture, the Princeton Review once named the University of Dallas as the most unattractive fourth campus among America's top colleges and universities. Travel Leisure in October 2013 released the list as one of the ugliest campus campuses in America, citing "a low-profile, boxy architecture that has a remarkable resemblance to public parking," but notes that recently The $ 12 million donation from Satish and Yasmin Gupta alumni will bring the construction of a new campus.
A Dallas City Express Fast Orange Line (DART) Orange-Line railway station opens near the campus on July 30, 2012.

Academics
Core Curriculum and Character of Traditional Liberal Education University
There is no more important element in the unique experience of UD education than the unusual core curriculum required by all students. From the first days of college, Bishop Thomas Gorman and Chairman of the Board, Mr. Eugene Constantin, demanded that the University not follow an increasingly common model after World War II focused on trade and job training. Under the direction of the Academic Dean, Dr. Gene Curtsinger and then under the later leadership of the third president of the school, Donald Cowan, school activities, teaching and student life were designed around the traditional ideas of liberal education according to the model described by Cardinal United Kingdom John Henry Newman in his book "The Idea of â € <â € The Core Curriculum is a collection of about twenty general courses covering philosophy, theology, history, literature, politics, economics, mathematics, science, art, and foreign languages. The curriculum includes not only the necessary courses, but includes a special standard text, which allows professors to assume a collection of common knowledge and cross-disciplinary talk. This emphasis on public reading fosters student bodies closely involved in general intellectual efforts. Classes in these core subjects typically have an average class size of 16 students to enable frequent discussions. Dallas is one of 25 schools rated "A" by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni for a solid core curriculum. There is a core curriculum similar to postgraduate studies at the Graduate School of Liberal Arts Braniff. Department

Haggerty Art Village
The University of Dallas Braniff Graduate School of Liberal Arts has a small graduate arts program, located at a place called Haggerty Art Village. The Haggerty Art Village is separated from the rest of the campus by a grove of trees, and the social atmosphere around the village is much different from the rest of the university. One important feature of the graduate arts program is that it provides all graduates who receive a full college scholarship, which allows them to study for three years and receive their MA and MFA degrees.
Offer
Haggerty Art Village itself features graphic art (all forms, plus paper-making and letterpress studios), paintings, sculptures (studio woodworking and extensive metalworks), and ceramic facilities, even though graduate students are not tied to a single medium, and accept them Degree as a broader classification of "art" (however, students are asked to choose advisor, based on which media they may use the most). There is also a Mac lab for digital photography and web design seminars. The program is small and intimate, and allows students to exhibit works both on and off campus. The University of Dallas MFA candidates typically move on to a successful national art career, and students come from diverse backgrounds (there are also many international students). Each student receives a private studio space in a collective studio environment. Currently, there are 16 graduate students of art, which show the competitive nature of the admissions process. In addition to flexible studio art courses and independent studio work, graduate students are required to meet various credits of art seminars, as well as take four courses of art history throughout their time at UD (modern and contemporary art, plus two others; many students choose to make their independent courses own). Because UD's art faculty is associated with Dallas-Ft. Worth of art community, there are often field trips to various Dallas-Ft. Worthy of art institutions, such as the Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas Art Museum, Modern in Ft. Worth, and a few others.
Beatrice Haggerty
The University Gallery is named after Beatrice Haggerty who was influential in forming the Art Village. Haggerty's involvement with the art program emerged from personal needs when his daughter, Kathleen, was seriously injured in a car accident. Haggerty's prize of the first art building in 1960 was engineered for his therapy. At that time Dallas was not very developed, so Haggerty suggested to her husband, Patrick E. Haggerty that the new university could benefit from a small building for the statue. In return, their daughter has access to the required therapeutic work. Providing an alternative recovery opportunity for his daughter, Beatrice Haggerty simultaneously fostered partnerships and future opportunities for university arts programs to flourish. After the completion of Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty Museum of Art in Wisconsin, Haggerty again contributed to fund the construction of the first art building at the University of Dallas in 1960. It is currently one of six structures that make up the Art Village of Haggerty. In 1994, the "Belong, Believe, Being" campaign was launched to fund the completion of an entire art village. Haggerty promised "seed money," commenting: "I want to see the art center over." The fund will renovate the old art buildings and add to the history of versatile art buildings, new sculptural facilities, and art foundation buildings. This donation became the first part of an extensive campus support campaign of 125 million dollars. The Haggerty family's original investment helps build a respectable, healthy, and secure environment that promotes the values ​​of quality and creativity in the visual communication of their artists and art. As a prominent gardening club member and has an eye for aesthetic landscaping, Beatrice advocates to uphold the natural beauty of the campus tree and to keep the environment for all artists to find inspiration. Currently, the exhibition at Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery is designed to encourage dialogue between the University of Dallas and the wider artistic community by inviting a number of contemporary artists, both nationally and internationally, to university campuses.
O'Neil Ford Building
The first University of Dallas artwork was completed in 1960 through the virtues of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick E. Haggerty. The goal is to create a space that allows artists to be cultivated and challenged. Designed by O'Neil Ford and its Ford companies, Powell and Carson from San Antonio, architects related to Landry and Landry of Dallas, this building is separated from other campuses by a grove of forest. Using simple materials, it has an exhibition space and a meeting room with high ceilings and natural light. To further encourage the making of artwork, this building includes three semi private studios. The first building was opened in 1960 and dedicated by Bishop of Dallas, mostly Reverend Thomas K. Gorman, and attended by Sr.Mary Corita Kent, a renowned contemporary printmaker from Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles In 1965, the University of Dallas welcomed the art building both designed by Ford. The building provides studio and frame shop for painting studio and graphic arts. In 1975, the addition of a third art building designed by Ford has been completed. Space was created for ceramics and graduate studios. In addition, the building serves as an extension of graphic arts, drawing rooms, and art history classes and kilns. These buildings were the first of six buildings to form the Haggerty Art Village. With a very different atmosphere from the main building at the University of Dallas, these buildings provide the foundation for a nurturing environment for creating art.
O'Neil Ford also designed the main building at Mall of the university. The buildings, built by the great gifts of 1964 from Mr. Blakely and Mr. Braniff, and the tower at the end of the mall built and then designed by Mr. Ford to become a typical American Southwest architecture and built using stronger and more durable building methods than most modern constructions.
Gallery
Haggerty Art Village features the Upper Gallery, which can be combined for one, a large exhibition, or separated into two different exhibitions. The Upper Gallery is equipped with track lighting and movable walls. Many students are featured in Upper Gallery for MA exhibitions on their campus. In addition to Upper Gallery, there is a small studio room gallery, which usually features a group exhibition featuring recent graduate work. The art history building features Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery, which hosts various eclectic exhibitions, featuring works by artists from all over the United States and around the world. There are other places outside Art Village to show the work: Gorman Lecture Center Foyer is usually used, such as the Braniff Lounge (called "the fishbowl" by students because of the large number of windows and natural light).
Print National Invite
Started by Juergen Strunck in 1974, the National Print Invitational is an annual exhibit that allows printers from across the US to share their work without paying entry fees. At no cost, several hundred submissions were narrowed to about 50 by graduate students of graphic arts.
After the $ 2000 initial university funding was spent and not replenished, the continuous fundraising was largely through membership fees: for $ 200 per year, members received prints and funded future exhibitions.
With Strunck's retirement, National Print Invitational ends after years of successful support not only artists in the live community, but also nationally. Hardcopy of all invites are in the Matrix and Graphic Collection at Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery, with the exception of the first NPI, which has no invitation.
Matrix Program The Matrix Program invites visiting artists from all over the country. This allows students to print the artist's edition of the artwork. Artists include Endi E. Poskovic. Students who participate in edition printing usually receive a completed, numbered print to add to their personal print collection. The matrix donors showcase some residents of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex community who value art. For their donations, they receive prints by every other Matrix artist (Matrix artists divided into semesters "small editions" and "big editions"; donors receive prints "big editions"). The program also features artist exhibitions that are curated by students, complete with opening ceremonies and artist demo sessions.
NCECA Conference
The University of Dallas is the local sponsor for the 32nd Annual Board of Education for Ceramics' Arts (NCECA) conference in 1998 with the central theme "Heroes, Icons, History, Memory." And Hammett of the University acted as Chairman of the Dallas-Fort Worth Conference and has served the organization in various capacities for seventeen years. The Clay Tradition Exhibition appeared simultaneously with the March Conference, promoting the ceramic education mission. Instructors from various institutions combine the different roles of teachers and artists, providing a cross section of contemporary work on clay. The University initiated ceramic exhibitions and increased visibility of the Conference through exhibitions and P.B.S. style films released around the country. Overall, three exhibits are presented on campus to provide student visual icons to the students. Hammett installed the work of Professor Harding Black, a respected Texas artist in the area, upstairs Haggar; by Maria Martinez, an artist from New Mexico; and the national Student Competition at the University Gallery in Haggar that no longer exists. On Irving's Campus by Madonna Pond, Arch Constantin serves as a continuing proof for the organization. Designer Robert Harrison built brick, cement, steel, and ceramic tiles for four days with University art professors Dan Hammett and Cameron Schoepp, and students. Hammett's position on the NCECA National Council has been beneficial for graduate students and ceramics scholars, whom he takes to the national Conference every year.
The Celebration of Japanese Art The University agreed to become one of the most famous and respected swordsmen in Japan in the spring of 1980. Mr. Yoshindo Yoshihara hoped to come to the United States and demonstrate how the blades were forged and eventually produced the first Samurai which is forged in the western hemisphere. In the early spring of 1980, the park between the art buildings was transformed into a Japanese setting with plants and gravel surfaces to greet the guests. This project began on Holy Saturday, after the illumination of the sacrament order fire. Yoshihara, in Kaji-Ba, attacked the first fire with stones and steel in the workshop, and started with the raw ore that had been transported from Japan. Together with Yoshihara and his assistants, there are also hibakers, grinders and scourers. The makers of sarongs and hibaki sit on tatami mats in the sculpture studio, which is currently a graphic arts studio at the university. 16 blades finished, and three of the raw ore. One in Metropolitan, one in Boston, and a third on the University of Dallas Campus. A week long Shinsa is offered on the top floor of Haggar. Here the blades made by Yoshihara are evaluated and approved for transportation. Along with smithing, The Samurai Sword Museum in Kyoto offers to send exhibitions of spear heads, knives, kutani, and Tsuba. The University also puts the exhibition of Japanese ceramics in the Art building. The blades are on display at the University Gallery, located on the premises of today's student life offices. They are so valuable that they are guarded during the day. They are so valuable that no catalog or identification label is allowed. The oldest is the 10th century. Also offered at the Wide Celebration of Japanese Art Campus are tea ceremonies, flower arranging, and flying kites. Among UD Community Education programs is an eight-week instructional class on "The Beginning of Japanese Flower Ikebana" together with a four-week lecture series on "Contemporary American Zen and Literature" and an eight-week lecture series on "Treasures of Japanese Civilizations." The 30-minute film, 16mm "Samurai" is made by Lowell Jordan who shows the process of forging knives on the University campus. The film is featured on PBS and also won a silver medal at the International Film Festival.

Life residence
On campus residency is required all students who have not reached senior status or who are under 21 and not married, are not military veterans or who do not live with their parents or relatives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. This requirement changes from year to year depending on the size of the new incoming student class; For example, in 2009, all students with senior credit standing were asked to stay off campus. New students live in traditional single halls, while seniors live in shared or off-campus dormitories.
