Mission Statement
The University of Dallas Athletics Department is committed to fostering the physical, personal, and academic development of student-athletes through competitive sports grounded in the
university’s Catholic and liberal arts tradition. We provide a wide range of athletic opportunities that promote integrity, sportsmanship, and the joy of participation, while emphasizing academic excellence and personal growth.
In alignment with the NCAA Division III philosophy, we prioritize the holistic education of our student-athletes, ensuring that athletic pursuits complement and enrich their college experience.

At the University of Dallas, athletics are more than competition—they are a formative part of a life well-lived.
