Student Employment Data

Dallas Baptist University (DBU) surveys graduating students in attendance for each commencement service.  DBU hosts commencement services three times each year—May, August, and December.  On average, about 85% of students receiving a degree are present and complete the survey.  Graduates are asked if they are currently employed, and if so, they are asked to provide the name of their employer.  If they are not currently employed, they are asked to share their future plans.

For more information related to the types of employment obtained by graduates of Dallas Baptist University’s degree or certificate programs and their placement in employment, please contact Dr. Justin Gandy, Senior Associate Dean of the College of Business, at justing@dbu.edu.
