A group of friends decided to go back to school and complete degrees and a number of us later joined the Teacher Certification Program. DEGREE COMPLETION: BA. At the time most of these classes were part online and all day Saturday. Basically if you paid the tuition, attended class and did a nominal amount of homework you get a diploma. We all agree we learned little or nothing, and the program is about as close to a diploma mill as you can get. EDUCATOR CERTIFICATION: Since the LeTourneau diploma did little to further our careers or open any new doors, six of went into the PACT program. This is really a joke. Complete chaos. This program is run by a bunch of mediocre former school teachers, most of whom have some connection with the school such as a husband on the faculty. For these ditzy school teachers to be able to say they "teach" at a university is the highpoint of their careers and they are very much impressed with themselves. Alternative Certification in Texas really only requires a couple of very common sense state examinations, some classroom experience, and the recommendation of a state approved preparation program that you can qualify for through any number of schools/agencies for far less than LeTourneau charges. The Teacher Certification Program is a HUGE RIP-OFF and a truly Christian school would not be overcharging for this shabby program! The LeTourneaus financed LeTourneau College to fill a specific need, and in that capacity it served many very well. And, while there are still some sincere Christian men and women involved with the institution it's getting harder and harder to tell the good guys from the phonies.

When I attended 1967-71, this school had a direction, something very unique as it emerged from a "tech school" with staff heavily envolved in industry, very experienced in Engineering and Technical skills. Mechanical, Electrical, and aero Engineering and Technology with a unique twist of spending 3 hours in labs for every hour of class time. One of only two schools in the US that offered a degree in Welding Engineering. The thery was that as an Engineer, not only could you design it, but you could build it and make it work. I will never forget those hours in Machine tool, welding, and Diesel lab. The infastructure was next to nothing but old Army hospital wings. You could basicly build your own dorm doom to suit yourself. The men to women ratio was about 15:1,students were from all over the world and the food was even worse then. We all drove fast cars and parked them outside under our dorm windows and worked on them in our Auto Society Building. Put on Go-Kart design competitions and races on campus streets a couple times a year. There were mandatory Chapel meetings, but often featured R.G.LeTourneau himself. Hardly a day goes by in my life that I don't think about some friend, instructor, course, lab machine, project, or adventure at LeTourneau when I was there. Now I understand that it has become just another liberal arts private school, too bad. Education Quality: A, Campus Maintenance: D Have a Question?

GREAT preparation for grad school in this field. Department does their homework concerning courses that are required for entrance into graduate schools. Professors were helpful. Generally willing to listen and receive feedback from students in accordance with coursework. I had a professor meet with me at 9:30 on a weeknight to help clarify some of of an assignment and help me with it. The faculty really care about the students. I don't think I can say as much for most of the staff, unfortunately. The surrounding city isn't horrible at all. It all depends on where you are coming from. If you're from a small town, you'll enjoy the bigger feel without being overwhelmed. There are plenty of places to eat, and plenty of pretty cool things to do, you just have to get a little creative sometimes. Education Quality: A, Innovation: C- Have a Question?
