Lane Palmer, MBA, Class of 2015 | VP/GM Walmart Beverages, Keurig Dr Pepper Inc.
"DBU unlocked a passion in me for learning... During the course of two years, I was really seeking to understand more about myself, my journey to Christ, and at the same time, understand a bit more about how I can be a better leader."
Charles Pulliam, MBA, Class of 2017 | CEO & Senior Partner, Solushiens
"I was able to implement ideas I was learning in class the very next day at the office."
Jonathan Fechner, MA in International Studies, Class of 2020 | Chief of Staff, DBU
"DBU's Christ-centered approach is essential. As Christians, we are emulators of Christ. With Christ being our model that we are to emulate in everything we do, it is integral to have that woven into the fabric of the education."

Melissa Pressley, MBA, Class of 2014 | Client Experience Manager, KPMG US
"I've benefited greatly from DBU’s network, even years after I graduated, as deans and professors have helped me at every stage of my career."
Gilbert Montez, MA in Communication, Class of 2014 | President/CEO, Christian Community Action
"DBU's Christ-centered approach to producing servant leaders is vitally important to our world today. They did talk to us about that in classrooms, but the fact that they modeled it for us was even more important."
Chase Durham, Graduate School of Ministry, Class of 2020 | High School Minister, Cottonwood Creek Church
"I thought of every reason I shouldn't pursue a graduate degree, between my full-time ministry and my growing family, but if the Lord is leading you; the Lord will equip you — and DBU offered me the perfect combination of academics and practical application in ministry."
