"DBU has not only provided academic & biblical classroom education for our children, but given them hands-on learning experience as well. The experience they have gained by applying what they have learned through servant leadership opportunities is priceless."
David Dooley

“Sending my only daughter away to college was hard for me, but I feel I could not have sent her to a better place than DBU. I have seen her grow intellectually and spiritually into the young lady of God I hoped she would be. She has taken advantage of countless opportunities and has had the time of her life at DBU… and in the mean time I have not had to worry about her safety at all!”
Leisa Collins

"My daughter is approaching graduation, and I feel DBU has continued the process we began at home molding her into a stronger servant leader and Christ follower. DBU professors care about the students, and the class sizes make it easy for the professors to actually know the students. There are very few campus communities like DBU, where professors will pray with and for their students. DBU is a special place!"
