Why ORU stands out among Christian universities:

ORU offers more than 150 undergraduate programs across business, engineering, health
sciences, education, ministry, and the arts. Every program is built to meet nationally
recognized academic and professional standards, including licensure and graduate-school
preparation in fields such as nursing, engineering, counseling, and business. ORU students learn from professors who hold terminal degrees and bring experience
from research, industry, clinical practice, and global ministry. That means coursework
is not only academically sound but also directly connected to real-world applications. ORU’s curriculum is designed around what you need after graduation — whether that
is medical school, law school, professional certification, or immediate career placement.
Our graduates go on to work in healthcare systems, corporations, nonprofits, and ministries
around the world. As a Christian university, Oral Roberts University integrates faith into learning
without lowering academic expectations. Students are challenged to think critically,
communicate clearly, and lead ethically — developing both the skills and character
needed for long-term success.What programs do Christian universities offer?
