Student Testimonials
Cameron Kahn | Sports Management Major | Sulphur Springs, TX
"What sets DBU apart from other institutions is that the faculty and staff genuinely care and they want the best for you. DBU brings out the best in people because the institution provides great role models as teachers and coaches to set the right example for you. My life has changed tremendously since stepping onto DBU's campus, simply from watching the upperclassmen and coaches and learning from them."
Alison Clancy | Marketing Major | Wichita Falls, TX
"My DBU experience has been such a gift. Four years ago, I knew the Lord was calling me to DBU, but I had no idea what was in store. I have been greatly impacted by professors, coaches, and friends who have walked beside me and encouraged me to look more like Jesus. It was a dream to come to a University where faith is integrated into every aspect of education and campus life. I am forever lucky to call myself a DBU Patriot!"
Mat Richter | Management Major | Arlington, TX
"I am very thankful for the time I spent studying Business Management at DBU. The faculty did an exceptional job of teaching the principles of business while also incorporating a Biblical worldview. If you feel a call to the business world, I highly recommend a degree in Business Management from DBU."
Working with Advisors
Students are strongly encouraged to work alongside their academic advisor starting early in their academic program and throughout their path to graduation. This aids in the correct sequencing of courses, along with timely academic and vocational advice. An academic advisor will offer direction regarding majors and potential careers, in addition to contributions from various faculty and mentors associated with the Carter School of Business. Attention to the requirements set forth in the undergraduate catalog, the ongoing consultation with an academic advisor will eliminate many difficulties and help the student ensure correct course sequencing.
As an example, it is highly recommended that students complete the B.B.A. math requirement (MATH 1307 and 1308) their first year, as it is a prerequisite to many of the upper level business courses. Likewise, students are strongly encouraged to complete the accounting and economics requirements by the end of their sophomore year. Additionally, a student has completed approximately 55 credit hours of course work, the student should then concentrate on completing the 3000/4000 level courses in the business core.
