LeTourneau is an obscure, ULTRA-CONSERVATIVE university that no one in the real world cares about. If you go there, the professors and administrators will tell that LeTourneau is the best school in the world. But, remember that LeTourneau has almost no research facilities or labs and that there is no graduate school, or funding to create a graduate school!

LeTourneau's academic reputation is based on bullshit that the professors and administrators brainwash on the students. They will tell you time after time that LeTourneau is the best, when it is NOT.

Then, if you come to this school, they will tell you what to believe, what to do, what to think, and how to live your life according to their beliefs and their ways of living. That means that, if you have different ways of living, your ideas and actions are not tolerated.

To "fix" you, they will try to counsel you at first. Then, if you tell them that you disagree with an official policy, you will be kicked out of the university.

The school is lacking academically because the professors don't know jack about their fields. Some of the professors, such as Drs. Graff and Leiffer of the Electrical Engineering department, have been at LeTourneau for more than 20 years, but they have not accomplished any research whatsoever. So, they don't know anything about the current trends and research areas. Dr. Graff, for example, got his PhD in the 1960s. Because of this, he doesn't know anything about microchips, electronics, computers, or any other new technology. So, keep this in mind. Honestly, would you like to receive a degree that will prepare for engineering in the 1960s?

The school is also very legalistic. Each semester, YOU HAVE TO ATTEND 38 chapels out of 50-60 that are offered. Each chapel is 45-60 minutes long. To get credit for each chapel, you have to log in using you student ID. Most of the chapels are incredibly boring, but you still have to sit there. You are not supposed to talk or do homework during chapel. If you are more than exactly 30 seconds late to the chapel, Student Affairs will send you an email saying that you were late and that you will not receive credit. The computer that signs you in actually keeps track of the exact time in which you signed in!

Just remember this: Don't come to a school just because it is a Christian University. Come to a school because it has a strong academic program. If you just want a school that will tell you exactly what to believe and think, come here. If you want to think for yourself, go somewhere else.

To see the quality of the professors at LeTourneau University, go to: www.ratemyprofessors.com. Click LeTourneau University. You will notice that most of the professors in the engineering program at LeTourneau have very poor reviews. Note Especially:

  • Roger Gonzalez (Engineering)
  • Bill Graff
  • Roy Henk
  • Oscar Ortiz
  • King
  • Ken Roden
  • Larry Luther
  • Erikstad
  • Look at their reviews carefully. That is the lack of academic quality that you will find here.

    I have left LeTourneau University and transferred to a state school. I strongly recommend that you never come here.
