About This School
Oral Roberts University is a private nonprofit institution located in Tulsa, Oklahoma with approximately 3,487 undergraduate students enrolled. Oral Roberts University has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 99%. The average net price after financial aid is $25,365 per year. The graduation rate is 57%, and the typical graduate earns $43,100 within 10 years of enrollment.
Oral Roberts University (ORU) is a private evangelical university in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Founded in 1963, the university is named after its founder, Charismatic Christian preacher Oral Roberts.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: while the near-universal acceptance rate and $20,250 median debt are appealing, only 54% of students actually graduate, which is a real concern worth discussing before enrolling. This is a strong option specifically for students seeking a faith-integrated, charismatic Christian environment — that mission is central to everything on campus, so it's a genuine fit question, not just a preference. Median earnings of $43,100 a decade out are modest, so students should think carefully about their intended major and career path relative to the $23,600 annual cost.
