This catalog is an official bulletin of Dallas Baptist University and contains a description of the academic programs and activities of DBU. It is provided for informational purposes only. The faculty and administration believe that the educational and other programs of DBU are effective and valuable. However, the ultimate results of the programs offered, in terms of achievement, employment, professional licensing, or other measure, are dependent on factors outside of the programs. These factors include the personality and initiative of the individual student, governmental or institutional regulations, and various market conditions. DBU makes no representation or warranty that taking a particular course or following a certain curriculum will result in specific achievement, employment or qualification for employment, admission to degree programs, or licensing for particular professions or occupations.

Changes to the programs offered by DBU sometimes become necessary or appropriate. The University retains the right to terminate or change any of its policies, programs, requirements, course offerings, class schedules, teacher assignments, and any and all other aspects of its educational and other programs at any time without prior notice. The University may determine when and how all changes become effective.
