Graduate Education Reimagined

University of Dallas Launches New Graduate Business Degrees

The University of Dallas announces the launch of a bold new graduate business curriculum — one that combines technical excellence with ethical leadership and human-centered values. This reimagined AACSB-accredited graduate business curriculum is for working professionals and career-driven students seeking a business education that delivers personal attention, ethical grounding, and industry relevance.

“This is a complete reinvention of how we approach graduate business education,” said Dr. J. Lee Whittington, Dean of the College of Business. “We asked Decision Analyst, one of the leading research and analytics firms in the U.S., to conduct a series of studies to provide the objective, scientific information needed to create breakthrough graduate business programs.”

“At the heart of the new curriculum is the University of Dallas Business Core—three foundational courses that focus on virtuous leadership and ethical decision-making, business and the common good, and advanced communication,” Dean Whittington added. “These three concepts form the bedrock for new MBA and Master of Science degrees. In a world increasingly shaped by massive amounts of data, data science, and artificial intelligence, we believe the future of business is human. A career is about more than just making money; it’s about serving a higher purpose and contributing to the greater good of humanity.”

Decision Analyst CEO, Jerry W. Thomas, said, “The University of Dallas College of Business under Dean Whittington’s leadership conducted original and innovative research through Decision Analyst to help create graduate programs that fit the needs, interests, and goals of business students, and to prepare them to thrive in a rapidly changing global business environment. These exciting new graduate degree programs inspire students to the highest ethical standards and build the foundational knowledge and leadership skills so graduates can make a difference in the world,” Thomas added.

With the nation's No. 2 Cyber-Security program, a cutting-edge MBA, and MS programs in Business Analytics, Data Science and AI, the University of Dallas is the pathway to excellence.
