Christ-Centered - Overarching - Redeemed - Education

The purpose of integrating core general education requirements into every degree plan is to ensure that all students receive a well-rounded education that fosters critical thinking, effective communication, Christian worldview and faith development, civic and cultural engagement, and personal competency development. By establishing a consistent set of core requirements across all degree programs we aim to provide a standardized foundation of learning that enhances the academic rigor and competitiveness of each degree. This approach not only enriches students' intellectual and personal development but also aligns with a Christ-centered worldview and the principles of servant leadership. By integrating these values, we seek to cultivate graduates who are not only well-versed in various disciplines, but are also committed to leading with integrity, compassion, and a commitment to serving others. The general education requirements also serve to level the playing field by guaranteeing that every DBU graduate possesses a comprehensive skill set and well-rounded perspective, regardless of their specific major.
