Collegiate Institute at Bishop Dunne

Bishop Dunne is the only Catholic high school in the Diocese of Dallas to offer its students an Associate of Science degree upon graduation from our Collegiate Institute program. Bishop Dunne launched the Collegiate Institute in partnership with Dallas College in the spring of 2020. Upon successful completion of Collegiate Institute, students may enter any Texas university or college with sixty college credit hours. The dual credit courses are offered at no additional cost to our families and most are taught on the Bishop Dunne campus.

We admitted approximately 50 percent of the freshman class into the inaugural cohort. In 2021, the Collegiate Institute cohort increased by 25 percent. This program is funded by the Templeton Foundation, the Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty Foundation, the Mike and Mary Terry Foundation and HALO.

This exciting program, makes Bishop Dunne Catholic School a very attractive and more affordable choice for families in Oak Cliff and the southern suburbs.
