The Constantin College of Liberal Arts
The Constantin College of Liberal Arts seeks to educate students of seriousness, intelligence and spirit in accordance with the fundamental mission of the University of Dallas—so they may develop the intellectual and moral virtues which will prepare them for life and work in a changing and problematic world, achieve a mature understanding of their faith and become men and women who act responsibly for their own good and the good of their family, community, country and church.
The specific mission of the Constantin College is to provide undergraduate education through baccalaureate degree programs which include a substantial and coherent core curriculum common to all undergraduates and major studies in the humanities and sciences proper to liberal learning. The core curriculum emphasizes the study of the great deeds and works of Western civilization, both ancient and modern. The majors are built upon the core and invite students to disciplined inquiry into fundamental aspects of being and of our relation to God, to nature and to fellow human beings. The curriculum as a whole seeks to enable students to achieve the knowledge of nature and the understanding of the human condition necessary for them to comprehend the fundamental character of the world in which they are called to live and work.
The College also offers programs through which students may take a responsible part in the rich and varied life of the campus and the surrounding community. The undergraduate programs as a whole provide a basis for students to achieve a meaningful and fulfilling life’s work whether through immediate career entry or through further education in graduate and professional schools.
