The Value of a DBU Education

You know education is valuable, but what makes the DBU experience distinct?

A Holistic Experience

When you come to DBU, you're coming for more than a degree. College truly is an experience, affecting every part of your life, from your studies to your friendships to your faith, and we believe all of those things go hand in hand. A DBU education is a holistic education, one that seeks to grow you in Christ-likeness in every facet of your life. 

Ready to Change the World

Okay, great. So, my time at DBU is going to be life-changing! But what about after I cross the stage with my diploma in hand? Great question! 

That transformative experience doesn't just stop; it actually prepares you well for what's next. When you leave University Hill, you'll be leaving ready to take on whatever God has in store for you!

Alumnus ('19)

"Many places provide degrees, but God led me to a place that provided transformation. With professors that cared deeply about my life and education, I found lifelong guidance and mentorship that far transcends the classroom. DBU prepared me to be far more than a business professional; I am a servant leader in my marriage, community, and workplace to the glory of God alone."

Kristen Stokley

Alumna ('26)

"DBU has given me a life I never thought I would have. The Lord has been so kind throughout my entire life in blessing me with friendships and opportunities. You meet people everywhere you go, and the kindness and generosity of the faculty being willing to pray over the students and know us personally makes me feel so loved and wanted here."
