History

See main article: University of Dallas. In 1955, the Western Province of the Sisters of Saint Mary of Namur obtained a university charter from the Diocese of Dallas in-order to absorb their junior college in Fort Worth. The college's founders were a mix of lay patrons and religious educators whose consensus on the mission of the college gave it a focus on scholastic liberal arts.[6]

The school's namesake comes from a 1970 endowment by Eugene Constantin, Jr.

In 1994, the university established a permanent campus near Marino for the college's Rome Program.
