Program
The DBTS program emphasizes expository preaching based on study of the Bible in the original languages. Accordingly, all degree candidates study Hebrew and Greek in addition to exegesis, Bible exposition, expository preaching, church history, Baptist history, pastoral theology, and church administration. Classes are conducted in a traditional on-campus setting; no classes are available by distance education. All students are required to engage in a weekly ministry in a local church.
In keeping with the belief that that "God ordained men to provide the spiritual leadership of the church in the preaching/pastoral function," the seminary does not award degrees to women, but does enroll women interested in taking courses for personal enrichment or vocational development. Also, DBTS' Seminary Wives' Institute offers the wives of current or former DBTS students a two-year series of weekly instructional sessions intended to prepare them to be "suitable helpers to their husbands both in the home and in the local church" by providing instruction in areas including homemaking, Biblical parenting, public speaking, church event planning, counseling, evangelism, and church planting.

“The man who would change the name of Arkansas is the original, iron-jawed, brass-mouthed, copper-bellied corpse-maker from the wilds of the Ozarks!
