This is not about the University of Dallas which is an excellent liberal arts university affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church and located in Irving, Texas. Rather it is the very high tech University of Texas at Dallas which is a campus of the University of Texas System located in Richardson, Texas and ranked as one of the top 25 universities in the United States. The two have a substantially different academic focus but because of the name similarity (not to mention the too similar abbreviations: UD and UTD), they are often confused.
