A Word from the President

Dallas Baptist University seeks to be a global, Christ-centered University that is pleasing to God and produces men and women who will impact the world for the cause of Christ. 


 Those of us on the faculty and staff will of course challenge you academically and professionally, but we want to do more than just that. We want to encourage and help you to achieve your educational goals and discover your individual calling. 

 The world is in desperate need of Christian servant leaders who give of themselves to better the lives of others. Our prayer is that you will want to call DBU your new home and allow us to come alongside you as you seek to serve others and become all that God intends for you to be. – Dr. Adam C. Wright
