Our Catholic Faith
Independent Thinking
Students laughingly describe our professors as sometimes playing “devil’s advocate”
in the classroom, acknowledging that it spurs them 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 reflection,
questions and debate. UD is truly an intellectual community engaged in an open and
honest search for the truth.
Educating the Whole Person
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.
The light of the Catholic faith illuminates every aspect of life at UD

Certainly a liberal education does manifest itself in a courtesy, propriety, and polish
of word and action, which is beautiful in itself, and acceptable to others; but it
does much more.
