The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
The light of the Catholic faith illuminates every aspect of life at UD.
Students laughingly describe our professors as sometimes playing “devil’s advocate”
in the classroom, acknowledging that they occasionally need that kind of spur to see
and understand different points of view. Because we are “The Catholic University for
Independent Thinkers,” we believe that faith is strengthened and matures more fully
when it is the subject of deep thought, probing questions and impassioned debate.
UD is truly an intellectual community engaged in an open and honest search for the
truth.
For hundreds of years, the Catholic Church has been delivering education that takes
the whole person into account. UD continues the longstanding Catholic intellectual
tradition, preparing students for success beyond UD and encouraging them to make a
difference in the world by providing rigorous scholarship with an emphasis on the
liberal arts, a commitment to spiritual and ethical values and the development of
the whole person.
