Welcome to the University of Dallas Braniff Graduate School of Liberal Arts. The university’s Board of Trustees in May of 2020 boldly adopted a vision statement that asserted, in part: “The University of Dallas aims to provide the paradigm for Catholic university education. It seeks to do this through combining a comprehensive liberal education with disciplined formation in a wide variety of majors and graduate programs in a manner unmatched by any other Catholic university.” The Braniff graduate programs self-consciously seek the recovery of the Western intellectual tradition, a tradition broad and deep, grounded fundamentally in the great texts of ancient, medieval and modern thought.
