One of the best ways to determine if DBU is the right school for you is to visit our beautiful
368-acre campus, located in the rolling hills of southwestern Dallas and overlooking

Financial Aid
At its heart, education is an investment.
It takes time to study and put in the hours needed to produce positive results. It takes involvement from friends, mentors, and family members to stretch and grow students. And it takes resources to ensure you have the ability to begin and complete a program.
