The University of Dallas is actually in Irving, on a hill a few minutes from DFW airport and the Las Colinas business district. Founded in 1956, it's a small Catholic university with a demanding core curriculum in philosophy, literature, theology and history. Most undergraduates spend a semester at the university's own campus outside Rome. At graduate level, the Satish & Yasmin Gupta College of Business draws most international students.
