I graduated from ORU in the relatively ancient era when almost all the founding faculty and administrators were still active. I have talked to recent grads who give me the impression that while ORU has a few strong academic programs, it is not as challenging as it was in the past, nor as challenging as it should be. When I graduated over 30 years ago, I was exceptionally well prepared for grad school and successful at two rigorous graduate universities. That's not the impression I receive now. On a positive note, the school does appeal to those who wish to become involved in "ministry": serving the charismatic and evangelical community in some direct capacity. At that task ORU is still successful. Just as in the 1970's ORU is not for everyone. Extraordinarily principled people attend the school and serve on the faculty. Working with them can focus and direct the life of the person who is supposed to be there. By the same token, if someone doesn't belong at ORU, it can be a most miserable experience. That was true in 1974 and still true today. |
