Oral Roberts University

Oral Roberts University (ORU) is a private Evangelical liberal arts university in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Founded in 1963, the university is named after its founder, evangelist Oral Roberts, and accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. The university enrols approximately 4,000 students.

In addition to its undergraduate programs, the university also has a graduate seminary and graduate programs in business and education.

Students in the College of Science and Engineering with a GPA of 3.4 or higher have an 86% medical school acceptance rate and 75% dental school acceptance rate. ORU students have been accepted into more than 70 medical schools nationally, including Johns Hopkins University, Washington University, and Duke University. 

Because of the high acceptance rates for medicine, ORU signed an early assurance program with Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2011, allowing high achieving students to receive conditional admission to OSU's medical school program. ORU is also one of the few undergraduate colleges in the southwest to have a human cadaver dissection class. While ORU is considered a Christian University, the College of Science and Engineering does not ignore evolutionary theories to teach Creationism
