Dallas Baptist University is excited to announce the launch of STAND FIRM. STAND OUT., a $60 million capital campaign benefiting @CarterSchoolDBU! We feel no business leader should have to choose between a candidate with an exceptional education or one with the heart of a servant leader—each is essential, and every single graduate should embody both.
The time is now for DBU to take bold steps to become a catalyst for that change. Join us as we equip and empower the next generation of servant leaders to stand firm and stand out.
The STAND FIRM. STAND OUT. campaign aims to raise funds for a new academic building to house the Carter School of Business, as well as student scholarships, program development, and faculty support.

At DBU, being a Patriot is about more than a mascot.
Being a Patriot is about pursuing excellence, leading with courage and conviction, serving others, and stewarding your God-given gifts to make an impact wherever you're called. These qualities blend seamlessly with the mission of DBU to produce Christ-centered leaders who integrate faith and deny self in service and sacrifice to others.
Hear from Matt Duce, Director of Athletics, on what it means to carry the Patriot spirit beyond competition and into every area of life.
