Life At ORU

As ORU Golden Eagles, we stick together and live life to the fullest with passion and purpose ... and have tons of fun along the way. We paint our faces blue and gold, lose our voices during Campus Worship, take on rival floors at intramural soccer, eat too much Chick-fil-A (if that’s possible), and stay up too late cramming for finals in the Hammer Center.

Be part of a community like no other.

“I loved living on campus. Not only was it fun, but living here showed me how much energy, compassion and joy results from a culture of following Christ.”

-Faith Sweet (B.S. Business, 2018)

Virtual Tour

We grow as leaders.

Together, we’re a community that’s committed to becoming whole leaders for the whole world: engineers, teachers, nurses, athletes, pastors, CEO’s, and doctors who lead with integrity and excellence by taking advantage of countless leadership opportunities on campus.

Leadership Opportunities

We know how to have fun.

Together, we laugh, compete, and create snap-worthy moments like playing with puppies during finals week (we’re serious!). ORU’s Student Association (SA) puts on events and activities throughout the year, such as bringing puppies (or even camels) to campus and hosting campus-wide events such as Partiestival, ORU’s Got Talent, and Battle of the Bands.

Student Association

We focus on our passions.

Together, we lead over 50 campus clubs and organizations that highlight our interests, passions, and academic pursuits. From traveling around the world on study-abroad to running ORU’s radio station and using entrepreneurship to transform lives, there’s a place for everyone to grow and be empowered.

We compete at the highest level.

Together, we rally thunderous “O-R-U” chants and proudly sport our blue and gold to champion our 16 NCAA Division I teams. We then take that same energy to our own Intramural Sports Complex to face one another in soccer, flag football, lacrosse, softball, rugby, and sand volleyball.

We Seek Jesus

Together, we gather in Chapel twice a week to experience powerful worship, life-transforming messages from world-renowned leaders, and share in meaningful prayer. In fact, we literally keep prayer at the center of everything we do. In the middle of campus is our 200 foot-tall Prayer Tower. We stop here between classes to seek the Lord.

We Love and Serve

Together, we roll up our sleeves every week to serve the people of Tulsa in 15 outreach locations, and we work together to raise funds so we can travel to over 25 countries during spring and summer breaks to share the gospel, witness miracles, and see people made whole.

We Enjoy our Beautiful Campus

Not only is our campus ranked as one of the safest and healthiest campuses, but it’s also one of the most beautiful! We take pictures in front of our iconic prayer tower, take walks through the peaceful Prayer Gardens, and enjoy the futuristic, art-deco (and symbolic) architecture that makes our campus one-of-a-kind.

We Live in the Best City

Together, we explore the neverending things to do in Tulsa, also known as “T-town” or “the 918.” We’re convinced it’s one of the best cities in the nation. If we’re not on campus, we’re studying in offbeat coffee shops, shopping in eclectic art-districts, catching concerts at nationally recognized venues, feeling classy at world-class museums, or discovering one of America’s best new attractions - The Gathering Place.

THE ARMAND HAMMER ALUMNI STUDENT CENTER

With a commitment to enhance the ORU experience of building Holy Spirit-empowered leaders through whole person education, we provide a safe environment full of wholesome entertainment for past, present and future ORU students and their families. We do this by setting a standard for outstanding service, activities and equipment.
