I count it a privilege and honor to have attended DBU, and I call myself an alumnus and a member of Theta Alpha Kappa (DBU Chapter). I attended DBU as a transfer student from January 2022 to May 2023, when I finished my MATS (Master of Arts in Theological Studies) degree. I have attended several schools in my education.

Some of the most Godly and caring professors I have ever met are at DBU.
