Our student success metrics consistently exceed national benchmarks. ORU’s retention rate is 20–30% higher than the national average, and our graduation rate outperforms peer institutions by 20%. Over 99% of our graduates achieve positive career outcomes, and for the past four years, we’ve had zero complaints filed with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Plus, our students carry significantly lower loan amounts and default at much lower rates compared to other universities—reflecting our commitment to both academic excellence and financial responsibility.
At ORU, we recognize your service. Eligible students receive up to 40% off graduate
& doctoral tuition through ORU Flex — fully virtual programs built for PCS moves,
deployments, and high OPTEMPO seasons. For eligible DoD Civilians (bachelor's + 5
years of service), we offer a streamlined admissions process with no application fee.
This is more than a degree; it's preparation for leadership, purpose, and impact.
