OT - Dallas Baptist University

My son is starting to look at colleges. We have family in Dallas and they've sent information from Dallas Baptist University. Do any of you know anything about the school? Quite frankly, I have never heard of it. Any special academic programs? How's the student body? Etc.
Thanks
Thanks

Good baseball program

Dallas Baptist University is a run of the mill Christian school. Obviously affiliated with the Baptists. Sports are Division II, with the notable exception of baseball, which competes at the Division I level.
They don't have a program that is really notable or special. Elementary Education is well respected, but I doubt your son is interested in that. Its a solid choice and they give good scholarships. Its definitely worth a look for a mid-20s ACT type student that wants something different than a state school.
Its certainly not Baylor, SMU or TCU, but its not a bad place. Some students do very well in smaller campus environments. IIRC, DBU has about 5,000 or so students. No Greek life. No football. But Dallas isn't a bad place to spend 4 years.

I'll say that I know one kid who goes there and he is top notch. I hear their baseball team is good too.

The real DBU

If he's looking at schools of that caliber, he may as well see what UTD, UTA and UNT have to offer.
