Dallas Baptist University Reviews

"In trying to decide upon an institution to complete my Bachelor and MBA, I initially fell in love with the beautiful colonial campus. I later fell i love with the staff and students. Even though I took the majority of my classes on line (for convenience sake) , I much preferred and enjoyed the ones that were on campus. With me usually being the oldest in the class (and at times older than the professors) the instructors always treated me with ultimate respect--many times requesting that I share my point of view from a more experienced perspective. That was so encouraging to me. DBU emphasizes service-centered growth. I am much richer, spiritually because I attended and graduated from DBU.Read Less"

"Flexible schedules online and in class opportunities made it easier to complete course work faster"

"I am very pleased with the school and have found many friendly and helpful staff members willing to help with whatever I need. Staff is always available for questions and really take initiative to make you feel welcomed and important. The other students are always very friendly and have always extended a helping hand as well."

"It is a very religious focused patient school that gives a great deal of allowances and understanding, they are are not as particular in the grading process as state universities and offer a variety of scheduling choices."

"Over Priced Poor Quality Education. ***Potential Students Beware***** I completed my bachelor's with Latin honors then came to D.B.U. for grad school to complete post-bachelor teacher certification in math. I have noticed inaccurate grading where students have brought the issue to the attention of professor that answers could not be found in the text. Just about all of the professor have inaccurate information is syllabuses; everything thing from missing information concerning assignment due dates, professors not teaching vital information concerning STAAR test, inaccurate information concerning the TEKS in a seminar conducted by college of education staff that is not consistent with what education professors are requiring for lesson plans. The college of education skams students by making them pay for a 4-8 math TExES seminar that is supposed to prepare you for the test that will be given at UTA. The certification test is 100 questions timed for 5 hours and D.B.U.'s practice test is only 50 questions which sets students up for failure because you do not get to practice the other 50 competencies that will be on state exam. So i was charged for a seminar that only half prepared me and I failed the state exam so now i have to hire a tutor which is what I thought i was spending seminar money for. D.B.U. is an unethical university that is profiting off the name of Christ and you will be hard pressed to find Christ's integrity anywhere on this campus. This school cares about one thing and that is money. I would recommend teach.Texas or anywhere else than this half of an education at D.B.U. Don't say you were not warned..Read Less"

"I started at Dallas Baptist University because I became the music leader and minister at my church. I received my bachelor's degree in music performance and I wanted to bolster my theological training; DBU excelled at preparing me for my new position. The professors were excellent at conveying their expertise and knowledge based on years of experience leading in worship and teaching theological ideas. I agreed with everything they had to share. The university provided a great degree plan that gave me a well-rounded education that adequately prepared me for my new position, and I now feel confident in leading and training laypeople in music. I am very thankful and glad for my time at DBU.Read Less"

"DBU is a great school to pursue your passion no matter your age or race. DBU has a wonderful international student program and I have met many students from other countries and have learned about their culture and how they see Christ just like you and me. DBU is a place where you can be yourself and learn about God along the way!"

"This program is an in depth study that allows an individual to understand the human mind. Overall the degree is straight forward. The professors are helpful and the classes are interesting. The classes are at night and allow a day time job. The only downside to DBU is the cost of the private school."

"DBU completely exceeded my expectations. Professors were professional, knowledgeable and flexible. My DBU masters degree gave me knowledge and power to make great contributions to my field of study. Each encounter at DBU was a wonderful experience."

"It is a great Christian private college. I would highly recommend it."

"I loved college. Thankful for the time there gaining knowledge while getting to know some amazing friends."

"Potential student BEWARE!!! This is not a good place to get post-bachelor teacher certification or bachelor's in education. Instructors do not know how to operate Taskstream program, and did not train students how to use program but will dock students grades. The Taskstream program changes monthly causing confusion creating lesson plans. Received inaccurate information about TEKS in a mandatory lesson plan seminar held by department heads. The dean of college of education does not care about the integrity of the education program or putting highly qualified instructors in the classrooms. If you are ok with a beautiful campus and Very inaccurate grading causing your GPA to drop, DBU is the place for you.Read Less"

"The pros for the graduate program are the commitment of the staff to go above and beyond to make your educational experience successful and full-filling, the lower student-to-teacher ratios make it easier to get one-on-one instruction if needed, and a strong emphasis on using your educational talents to serve the community. The cons are the accessibility to the building and the extra imposed fees."

"Dallas Baptist University's graduate program is one of the best. The professors are outstanding. I have not had one that I wished I didn't. The main campus is beautiful. All of the students are really nice and non-judgmental. There are activities and clubs for everyone. The graduate program is tough but worth it. Everything is great. The only con is the cost."

"I could not be happier with my experience thus far in the online MBA program. The professors and faculty go above and beyond to create a healthy environment of learning. The professors are always there to answer questions and give beneficial feedback and comments and students are encouraged to ask questions and learn from one another. This college wants the best for all their students and their future. It may come with private school tuition costs, but it is far worth the investment."

"DBU is a great Christian institution where a student can receive excellent Christian education, and develop long-lasting relationships."

"It is a great program, teachers are well prepared and environment is very welcoming. I love it, if I would choose a con would only be that the classes are at night and I am a day person, and also I have kids, so I would rather have the option to study during the day. But since it is only one day a week it is not that strangeous."

"I love the responsiveness of the staff and facility in the Masters of Counseling Program at DBU. I have instant access to my adviser and every department I have worked with from financial aid to placement testing have exceeded my expectations for their professionalism and willingness to help me succeed. The only con that I have about the program is that I would love to have classes in the daytime. Since I am an adult student, I would love to go to class while my children are in school."

"I am excited that I have the opportunity to complete my studies in the same fields that I currently work in and hope to have the chance to complete it with grace with the help of the support staff and the extensive level of opportunity."

"DBU is a small school with a community-like environment. Its faculty and staff are always willing and available to help students in any way possible."
