M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction May 2021 Graduate
Throughout my journey at DBU, my biggest challenge was time. I am a busy working mother of three and I was terrified that I would not be able to meet the demands of the program. I quickly learned that my professors understand I am a mother first. They supported my journey and my growth by checking in with me and developing a relationship with me. This took the pressure off of "performing" and put learning as the top priority.
I have learned more than I could have ever imagined about education and about myself through my time at DBU. Those relationships encouraged me to do my very best for the Lord. My professors consistently poured into me that the goal was growth and learning, not a grade. This took the pressure off of "performing" and put learning as the top priority. I have learned more than I could have ever imagined about education and about myself through my time at DBU.

M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction May 2020 Graduate
Prior to joining the MEDCI program at DBU, I was attempting to serve as the Academic Director of a school with over 1,000 students using only what I had learned in my Bachelor's program. I was overwhelmed, particularly as my school began to pursue international accreditation. I knew I needed to learn more, but since I had been out of the academic study of education for so long, I did not even know which authors and researchers to trust.
DBU's program not only met that need but also gave me a much broader toolbox of supervisory strategies and school improvement methods to draw from. I am so thankful for the difference DBU made in my life and ministry.
