achievable and fun! With healthy dining options, physical education classes, intercollegiate

Physical Health
You can take full advantage of the technological investment the University has made,
whether that's through the augmented and virtual reality available at the forward-thinking
classrooms of the Global Learning Center or through state-of-the-art simulations in
the Nursing and Engineering Complex.
Technological Focus
That technological bent is infused throughout ORU’s degree programs as well, with undergraduate degrees available in such disciplines as Information Technology, Computer Science, Medical Technology, Nursing, Communication, Marketing, Digital Communication, and others.
In addition to the latest in learning resources, undergraduate students in computer-focused degree programs have access to Titan, the fastest (and only) supercomputer in Oklahoma that is, as a rule, used to enhance the undergraduate educational experience. Titan is available across all disciplines to both students and faculty to enable them to use high performance computing in their research and educational activities.
Additionally, many of these degree programs are available entirely online, opening educational doors to a much wider variety of student.

each of which symbolizes an element of our Christian faith. Experience our interactive virtual tour or schedule a visit today to step inside our
