Oral Roberts University Named a 2015 STEM Jobs Approved College by Victory Media
Oral Roberts University is proud to announce they have been designated a 2015 STEM
JobsSM Approved College by Victory Media, the leader in successfully connecting individuals
in transition with education and career opportunities, and creator of STEM JobsSM media, education and career resources for students interested in science, technology,
engineering and math. The 2015 STEM JobsSM Approved Colleges inaugural list is the first of its kind to rate universities, colleges,
community colleges and trade schools on their responsiveness and relevance to high
demand, high growth STEM occupations.
ORU was among over 1,600 schools participating in the STEM JobsSM survey process. Schools submitting surveys were scored on publicly available data and responses around three key indicators of success: STEM job alignment, STEM job placement and diversity in a school’s STEM programs. ORU will be featured in the Winter 2015 issue of “STEM JobsSM Magazine,” along with the entire list of 2015 STEM JobsSM Approved Colleges.
“It is an honor to be named one of the STEM JobsSM Approved Colleges for 2015,” said ORU Provost Kathaleen Reid-Martinez. “The ORU College of Science and Engineering is committed to keeping our students on the cutting-edge of science, technology, engineering and mathematics and, ultimately, connecting them with employment opportunities that will have a global impact.”
“With the list of STEM JobsSM Approved Colleges we’re able to help parents, students and guidance counselors evaluate how well education is translating into real-world jobs, and how responsive institutions are to meeting those demands,” said Daniel Nichols, president of STEM JobsSM. “We’re pleased to showcase schools like Oral Roberts University as a school leading the way in this area.”

Ratings are based on a complimentary and rigorous quantitative assessment that measures schools on criteria created by Victory Media with the assistance of an independent Academic Advisory Board.
