Center for Mentoring
Long before mentoring was our plan here at Dallas Baptist University, it was God’s plan for each of us. Proverbs 27:17 says that “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." The Center for Mentoring on our campus is here to help DBU students connect with those who can help them grow academically, spiritually, and professionally. We invite you to browse the resources on this site, and please visit our office or contact us if we can be of service.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
