Chafer served as President of DTS until his death in 1952 whereupon John F. Walvoord replaced Chafer. Walvoord oversaw massive growth of DTS until he retired in 1986. Donald K. Campbell replaced Walvoord and presided until his resignation in 1994 at which time internationally known host of "Insight for Living" and DTS graduate Chuck Swindoll became President. Swindoll reduced his title to 'chancellor' in 2001 and was replaced by the current President Mark Bailey.

DTS has earned a popular reputation as a school whose central study is the Bible, and a critical reputation as a school rooted in dispensationalism. With extension campuses in several other cities (and online education offered for some courses), DTS "prepares graduates to do the work of evangelism" while "discipling other believers and equipping them to do the same".
