History

Starting with only 14 students, one building and one farm, the University of Dayton rose from its humble beginnings in 1850 to become an internationally recognized university.

We provide an experience that educates the whole person — mind, body and spirit — to inspire students to be better professionals and create a better world.

University Initiatives

Whether it’s opening a new campus in China, creating a food-scrap composting program or adding study abroad opportunities, we’re committed to making UD greener, more global and more diverse.
