Dallas
Baptist University is proud to be a member of the Council
for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU), an international association of intentionally Christ-centered institutions around the world. There are 113 member campuses
in North America and all are fully-accredited, comprehensive
colleges and universities with curricula rooted in the arts
and sciences. In addition, 73 affiliate campuses from 25 countries
are part of the CCCU. The Council's mission is to advance
the cause of Christ-centered higher education and to help
its institutions transform lives by faithfully relating scholarship
and service to biblical truth. The CCCU is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in the Historic Capital Hill district of Washington, D.C.
A primary objective of the Council is to assist faculty, administrators,
and students in examining and living out the relevance of
the Christian faith in all areas of life. During the past
decade, many faculty have participated in Council-sponsored
conferences and workshops. These interdisciplinary and intradisciplinary
gatherings are designed to provide faculty with both theoretical
and practical assistance in shaping a thoughtful Christian
worldview.
DBU students, of junior or senior standing who obtain a cumulative
GPA of 2.75 or higher (GPA requirements vary among
the various study programs; check individual study programs
for exact GPA requirement) on a 4.00 scale, and faculty
