AFFILIATIONS
International Extension/Affiliation
As a Christ-centered university for the education of the whole person reaching out to every persons world with a message of healing, wholeness, and abundant living, Oral Roberts University has expanded its reach into every persons world by providing an evangelical Christian liberal arts education in Europe on the campus of Livets Ord Theological Seminary (LOTS) in Uppsala, Sweden. ORU offers certain bachelors degrees at the campus in Sweden. The curriculum of the ORU extension is the same as that of the home campus with some exceptions peculiar to the locale (e.g., Swedish history). The ORU site at Livets Ord requires the same qualifications as the home campus in Tulsa. Admissions and academic records are maintained by the home campus staff working closely with their counterparts at Livets Ord. LOTS, in order to have the site on their campus, accepts all financial obligations and thus, is responsible for determining fees and tuition. Upon completion of a degree audit, graduates receive an ORU diploma and transcript with a note that the degree was taken at Livets Ord.

best qualities of a mature and respectful student. The universitys dress code promotes such an attitude. A detailed description of the dress code is available from the Student Development Office. Additionally, each individual endeavors to maintain high standards in residence-hall living and pledges to avoid theft, removal, or damage to others personal property or that of the school. Exemplifying the highest moral commitment, ORU students refrain from profanity, smoking, gambling, alcoholic beverages, dishonesty, illegal drugs, and all behavior that might cause Christ to grieve. As responsible learners, students should make every effort to be prompt to classes, chapel, worship, and all appointments. Classes, chapel, assemblies, and worship services at local churches are all integral parts of the ORU lifestyle. ORU students are committed to developing their minds by doing their own academic work. They do not engage in plagiarism, whether accidental or intentional. Plagiarism is the inappropriate use of others ideas or information, such as using sources without citations or direct quotes without quotation marks. Even paraphrasing or summarizing without giving credit to the original author is considered plagiarism. The ORU website (http://www.oru.edu/university/library/guides/plagiarism.html) gives more information and examples of plagiarism. By providing an example for others in word and deed, each student should encourage others adherence to the Honor Code. Students should be sure not to incite anothers violation of the code and should seek to strengthen the bond of trust at every opportunity. The students and administration of Oral Roberts University affirm that, regardless of faith, creed, or race, all students admitted to the university must agree to uphold the Honor Code and the rules governing ORU. No time, place, or circumstance gives release from the individuals initial promise. The Honor Code is a way of life, measured by the heart and commitment of each member of the ORU family, and students should regard it as essential to development, not as an imposition or restriction. The registration process is incomplete until students have formally signed the Honor Code Pledge. The code is in effect as long as the student is enrolled in the university. Failure to enforce any university policy or rule constitutes a waiver only as to such particular policy or rule and shall not be deemed as a waiver of any other policy or rule. The Honor Code is the central criterion of conduct for all who are a part of the ORU community. It is a concept of personal honor based on the principles of integrity, common sense, reverence for God, esteem for man, and respect for social and spiritual laws. It is assumed that a student deemed worthy of admission to the university already exemplifies these integral facets of the Christian character. In accepting and following the Honor Code, students accept responsibility and discipline, which will enhance their moral and spiritual growth. Such qualities should be an inherent part of the ethical code held by an educated individual. In addition, students are protecting and preserving their own reputation, as well as that of their family at the university. offering a lifestyle of commitment to Jesus Christ of Nazareth as personal Savior and Lord. I further recognize that the universitys ministry is that of providing a Whole Person education with a charismatic distinctive. It is therefore my personal commitment to be a person of integrity in my attitude and respect for what Oral Roberts University is in its calling to be a Christian university. 1. I PLEDGE to apply myself wholeheartedly to my intellectual pursuits and to use the full powers of my mind for the glory of God. 2. I PLEDGE to grow in my spirit by developing my own relationship with God. 3. I PLEDGE to develop my body with sound health habits by completing the required aerobics program and by participating in wholesome physical activities. 4. I PLEDGE to cultivate good social relationships and to seek to love others as I love myself. I will not lie; I will not steal; I will not curse; I will not be a talebearer. I will not cheat or plagiarize; I will do my own academic work and will not inappropriately collaborate with other students on assignments. 5. I PLEDGE at all times to keep my total being under subjection from all immoral and illegal actions and communications, whether on or off campus. I will not take any illegal drugs or misuse any drugs; I will not engage in or attempt to engage in any illicit, unscriptural sexual acts, which include any homosexual activity and sexual intercourse with one who is not my spouse through traditional marriage of one man and one woman. I will not drink alcoholic beverages of any kind; I will not use tobacco; I will not engage in other behavior that is contrary to the rules and regulations listed in the Student Handbook. 6. I PLEDGE to maintain an integrity of openness to Gods claims on my life and to do my utmost to know and follow His will for my life. 7. I PLEDGE to attend class, all required chapel services on campus, and my choice of a house of worship wherever God is honored and lifted up. 8. I PLEDGE to abide by the rules and regulations that may from time to time be adopted by the university administration. I understand Oral Roberts University is a private school that is governed by a Board of Trustees, which has final authority on all matters. I understand that the university reserves the right to require the withdrawal of a student at any time if in the judgment of the president of the university and the University Discipline Committee such action is deemed necessary to safeguard ORUs ideals of scholarship or its spiritual and moral atmosphere as a Christian university. I will keep the HONOR CODE carefully and prayerfully. I understand that my signature below is my acceptance of the entire Honor Code and completes a contract between me and Oral Roberts University, which is a prerequisite for matriculation and my continued association with the university. My signed pledge becomes a part of my permanent file. Further, my acceptance of the Honor Code is a solemn vow and promise to God as to how I will live my life.
COMMITMENTS
FOUNDING VISION
Oral Roberts University is a charismatic university, founded in the fires of evangelism and upon the unchanging precepts of the Bible. The university was founded as a result of the evangelist Oral Roberts obeying Gods mandate to build a university on Gods authority and the Holy Spirit. Gods commission to Oral Roberts was to Raise up your students to hear My voice, to go where My light is dim, where My voice is heard small, and My healing power is not known, even to the uttermost bounds of the earth. Their work will exceed yours, and in this I am well pleased.
MISSION
The mission of Oral Roberts University--in its commitment to the Christian faith--is to educate the whole person in spirit, mind, and body, thereby preparing its graduates to be professionally competent servant-leaders who are spiritually alive, intellectually alert, physically disciplined, and socially adept. The university seeks to synthesize the best practices of liberal arts, professional, and graduate education with a charismatic emphasis to enable students to go into every persons world with Gods message of salvation and healing for the totality of human need.
CORE VALUES
Christian Distinctiveness We are a God-centered university that upholds a Christian worldview with a charismatic emphasis. We endeavor to live in the power of the Holy Spirit and to become service-oriented leaders who go into every persons world with healing for the totality of human need. Whole-Person Education We seek to develop the whole person in spirit, mind, and body, thereby preparing ourselves and our students to be professionally competent leaders who are spiritually alive, intellectually alert, physically disciplined, and socially adept. Excellence with Integrity We strive to operate with, and instill in our students, excellence with integrity in all personal, academic, professional, and corporate endeavors. Caring Community We are dedicated to providing a safe, caring, and Godly environment that encourages unity in diversity. We believe that all people have been created in the image of God and deserve to be respected.
HONOR CODE LIVING

As essential members of the ORU family, students must clearly recognize that all of us have a desire to further develop and exhibit responsible and mature behavior. That goal is a basic premise of the personal Honor Code. At ORU, students pledge to endeavor to present a good appearance at all times. In both attire and behavior, students should strive to demonstrate good taste in all instances. The way they present themselves to others is of vital importance to the way others perceive Christ. An individuals conduct should never be an embarrassment to others, but should exemplify the
WHAT IS ORAL ROBERTS UNIVERSITY?

For the believer seeking an academic challenge in the context of uncompromising Christian commitment, Oral Roberts University provides a balanced program of educational endeavor. As each student takes part in ORUs unique opportunities, he or she will develop a lifestyle of wholeness. Since Jesus Christ is the only person who has ever embodied perfection,
HONOR CODE PLEDGE

In signing the Honor Code Pledge, I fully recognize that Oral Roberts University was founded to be and is committed to being a leading academic institution serving the interdenominational Body of Christ,

each student is encouraged to look at Him as he or she strives to become the whole person Jesus Christ wants each person to become. ORU is distinctly Christian. As students prepare for their life, they strive to attain academic excellence, physical fitness, and dynamic spiritual growth. In the undergraduate program, the curriculum encompasses significant areas of knowledge, including Biblical studies, fine arts, social sciences, mathematics, communications, natural science, nursing, and humanities. On the graduate level, programs in business, education, and theology prepare students to influence all of mankind for Christs sake. In addition to scholastic efforts, all students gather to worship in twice-weekly chapel services. Other opportunities, such as wing devotions, personal prayer times, and participation in outreach ministry offer additional possibilities for spiritual growth. Physical fitness is fostered by ORUs aerobics program, developed by the originator of modern aerobic exerciseDr. Kenneth Cooper. The program includes recreation and competitive sports. The ultramodern, well-equipped Aerobics Center provides an environment conducive to effective exercise. The universitys extensive and comfortable housing facilities help make ORU primarily a residential campus, helping to bind the university members together as a family. Residence halls allow easy access to campus events, such as intercollegiate athletics, concerts, lectures, dramatic presentations, academic organizations, student publications, and special events. In search of academic excellence and personal fitness, the discerning ORU student seeks understanding and knowledge within the context of faith and commitment, believing that divine power and wisdom are necessary for the most fruitful application of information. In the undergraduate colleges, the university provides a liberal arts curriculum to provide a broad interrelated base for education and to take Gods healing power into every facet of human existence. Similarly, the graduate schools prepare students in an area of specialization to bring renewal to crucial fields of human endeavor. The major reason for the existence of Oral Roberts University is to bring healing to the Body of Christ and to a dying world: Healing is the watchword of the university.
15
The university has a mandate to instruct students in the operation of and participation in all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The university sends the students to the churches of their choice as more committed and equipped disciples of Jesus Christ and servants of His Church. ORU students are expected to worship at a local church in addition to participating in worship on campus. ORU desires unity in essentials, diversity in nonessentials, and love in all things. 4. ORU is grounded in the liberal arts and sciences tradition with a dedication to the education of the whole person. This includes an emphasis on Western civilization and the Judeo-Christian tradition from which the institution of the university has emerged. In addition to criteria for academic excellence, criteria exist for evaluating the spiritual and physical conditions of each student. 5. ORU is a distinct institution. Faculty. Faculty members are dedicated Christian men and women who acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and are actively open to all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. They practice and support charismatic spirituality and live out a spiritual ecumenicity that reaches out to the greater Body of Christ. They affirm with Oral Roberts, the founder, that different churches have a piece of the truth of God and that ORU emphasizes the healing ministry of Jesus returning to the people which has been neglected or forgotten (Expect a Miracle: Autobiography 139). The faculty members are expected to serve in the various churches and denominations in which they choose to worship. Curriculum. ORU has a broad liberal arts and professional curriculum with particular emphasis upon biblical and theological studies, humanities, fine arts, social sciences, natural sciences, health sciences, education, and business. This enables the student body to take Gods illumination and renewal into every persons world. Truth. ORU holds that all truth, whether natural or supernatural, scientific or spiritual, has a divine origin and that the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, becomes a catalyst in the quest for truth. ORU presents all major positions and viewpoints in a fair assessment, but the university does not espouse all viewpoints. It is committed to promoting historic Christianity and the fruits of Western civilization. Prayer. ORU emphasizes prayer as a way of life. On the ORU campus, prayer is a normal and natural means of constantly relating all of life to the will of God. ORU emphasizes prayer both on the level of the inner person, praying in the Spirit, and prayer on the level of understanding (1 Corinthians 14:15, Ephesians 6:18, 1 Thessalonians 5:17). 6. ORU has definite rules and regulations for the development of self-discipline and character. ORU believes that self-discipline and learning should go hand-in-hand to build character and that students can best develop in the dimension of the whole person when they have both an academic education and a voluntary and strict disciplining of their life and character. The university has an Honor Code, developed by the administration and student body, that calls for responsibility with privilege and for freedom of expression with discretion. Students are expected to abide by the Honor Code both on and off the campus.
Commitments
Since the key distinctive of Oral Roberts University is healing, and Jesus is the consummate Healer who passed on His healing ministry to His Church, all of the university courses seek to educate students toward healing and restoration in every facet of society. In order to remain true to its founding purpose, ORU has made the following commitments: 1. ORU is a Christian institution. The university stands for the authority of the Bible as the Word of God and subscribes to historic Christianity through which the Holy Spirit has continued to guide the Church with His gifts. ORU believes in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit as revealed in Scripture and explained by the Church in her ancient creedal statements. The university has been supported by many generous Christians from various denominations who are faithful to the essentials of the Christian faith and acknowledge the continued activity of the Holy Spirit in the Church. ORU seeks to be faithful to its calling from God and to these dedicated brothers and sisters in Christ. 2. ORU is a Christian institution with the distinctive charismatic dimension of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit. These include the wonder gifts as described by St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 12-14, including the prayer language of the Holy Spirit, the ministry gifts (Romans 12:4-8), and the gifts of apostles, prophets, evangelists, and pastors-teachers (Ephesians 4:11-13). Faculty, students, and staff are expected to be actively open to participation in all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, thus demonstrating active participation in the charismatic experience. The gifts of the Holy Spirit have not been revoked; there have been two thousand years of Pentecost. Thus, we affirm the Scriptures and the continued voice of the Spirit in the Church up to the present, holding fast to treasures old and new. In its relentless quest for truth and wisdom, ORU exists so that the Holy Spirit can reveal new areas of research and add to the existing corpus of knowledge. 3. ORU is an ecumenical institution. ORU exists to serve the whole Body of Christ worldwide. Over fifty different denominations are represented in the ORU community. Thus, the ORU community makes every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Ephesians 4:3). St. Paul continues, There is one body, and one Spirit one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all (Ephesians 4:4-6). ORU is not concerned with changing the church allegiance of its students or faculty. Rather, it seeks to bring all members of the university community into a more personal and vital relationship with Christ, to assist them in receiving Christ as their personal Savior, and to acquaint them more fully with the charismatic power of the Holy Spirit.
Background
Granville Oral Roberts was born January 24, 1918, a Native American whose parents were Pentecostal preachers of modest means. In his teenage years, Oral contracted tuberculosis and was near death when his family took him to a healing evangelists meeting. While there, he was soundly converted and completely healed of this disease. He relates that on the night Rev. George Moncey prayed for his healing, he heard God speak to him: Son, I am going to heal you and you are to take my healing power to your generation. You are to build Me a university and build it on My authority and the Holy Spirit. After this experience, Oral became a preacher and healing evangelist. Later during his healing ministry, God reminded Oral of the educational mandate he received years before and clarified the assignment. Raise up your students to hear My voice to go where My light is dim, where My voice is heard small and My healing power is not known, even to the uttermost bounds of the earth. Their work will exceed yours, and in this I am well pleased. In 1963, Oral began to gather qualified academicians to build Oral Roberts University on the authority of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. The administration, faculty, and students are committed to the best of faith and scholarship and education of the whole person: spirit, mind, and body. Thus, Oral Roberts University promotes academic excellence, physical fitness, and dynamic spiritual growth. The community studies together, worships together, and prays together for corporate and individual growth. The founder has declared that the Bible is the number one text at ORU, and the ORU community mandates corporate and individual prayer and study of the Bible. St. Jerome stated, Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.

7. ORU has a strong spiritual participation and outreach program for its students. ORU realizes that its educational program must constantly lead its students into personal interaction with humankind and its needs. Through its Student Development Department, ORU students learn to minister in several areas: Campus activities. ORU students have the unusual opportunity of participating in various programs, conferences, and workshops on campus. Community activities. ORU students may participate in many community activities individually and in groups through music, drama, speech, art, the philharmonic orchestra, and civic opera. They express their Christian witness through other avenues of service to civic clubs, churches, missions, hospitals, jails, retirement homes, and in radio and television. These and other community opportunities provide unusual potential for personal growth and meaningful service. International activities. ORU has a well-developed missions program. Hundreds of students travel each summer to many nations of the earth carrying the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His healing power to thousands of people.
QUEST FOR THE WHOLE PERSON

Extracts from address by President Oral Roberts to the first class at ORU, September 7, 1965. You young men and women who have enrolled today are our first class. As your president, I salute and congratulate you and extend to you my warm personal welcome. You have been carefully selected from among some of Americas top young people. You have, in coming to ORU, pledged yourselves to join us in what I consider to be the most exciting and revolutionary quest in modern timesthe quest for the whole man. Wholeness is a way of life here. Its something you can get; its something you can become. You can leave as the whole person God intended you to be. Here you can reach for excellence and find it. In todays world, you cannot get through without it. If your muscles are flabby, you will have to toughen them. If you have been sheltered, you will have to make adjustment to the outside world. Competition is furious out there. To make the grade, you will have to call forth every resource of your inner and outer manin short, you will have to stand up on the inside and be able to take the offensive. What am I trying to say to you? I am asking you to get the vision of wholeness and reach for it by making every effort to develop your spirit, your mind, and your body and to help to start a unique trend toward sanity and achievement in this exploding civilization. ORU is a daring new concept in higher education. It was planned to be from the beginning one that would be able and willing to innovate change in all three basic aspects of your being: the intellect, the physical, and the spiritual. Plato said, The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life. Your start here is the direction of a whole man. FirstTheres an education here for your mind, for without the development of your intellect you cannot be a complete person. To develop your intellect fully, learn the art of asking questions. Our Master acquired this art. Throughout His lifetime He probed, questioned, reasoned, and sought answers wherever there was something to be learned, to be done, to be changed. You made up your mind to enroll, you followed through, you are on campus, and you are ready to go. All right. Open up your inner self to the joy that is before you and get off on the right foot by learning to study immediately. You are an adult now, and at ORU we will treat you as an adult. You have a big job ahead of you. Learn and learn some more. You want to graduate with your head up and with a light in your eye. And what you do learnapply. Learn to gear it to meet the needs of people. It is our earnest desire and purpose to make ORU not only tops academically, but a foremost university in the formation of character. Character is spiritual and has a vigorous moral fiber especially instilled by selfdiscipline and commitment to principle. This, of course, rules out cheating in every form because cheating cheapens your character and weakens your moral fiber. I believe that no person rises above his personal integrity, and no one can truly fail when he has it. Let me emphasize that while we are innovators in educational techniques, we are definitely old-fashioned when it comes to Christian morals and character. We respect the integrity of each student, and you will want to earn that respect.
DEDICATION TO DEVELOPING THE WHOLE PERSON

Oral Roberts University is designed for a special and specific type of individual. Students seeking a balanced development of the spirit, mind, and body will want to apply for admission. The concept of wholeness is not just a theory; it is a way of life, practiced and perfected each day by thousands as they seek to follow Gods direction for their lives. A genuine spiritual, mental, and physical commitment is necessary for contentment and development at the university. Academically, highly ambitious students pursue exceptional standards of excellence. The academic programs seek to help students develop those qualities of the intellect that permit them to reason soundly, to evaluate the wealth of information confronting society, and to find creative, Christ-centered solutions to contemporary problems. Fitness for a long and healthy life is an important part of the ORU lifestyle. All full-time ORU students are required to enroll in and pass a Health, Physical Education, and Recreation (HPE) course each semester. The physical fitness program also includes opportunities for competitive intramural sports for both men and women. An emphasis on spiritual growth stands as the foremost consideration in the development of the whole person. Spiritual growth is encouraged as part of academic instruction in chapel services and in voluntary campus worship services. Opportunities for service with local churches and ministries, as well as personal devotions, are readily available. In addition, every faculty member is expected to exemplify the Spirit of Christ and actively motivate others to participate in ORUs unique spiritual atmosphere.
SecondTheres an education here for your body, for that too is essential to your development as a whole person. We are going to expose you to one of the most exciting health programs you have ever knownone designed to beautify and strengthen the physical house your inner man lives in. We believe that your four-year stay here on this campus is the best time to learn positive and effective ways to develop healthy attitudes and habits that will benefit you throughout life. Here you will learn to appreciate and take care of your wonderful body. ThirdThere is a unique opportunity here for an education or development of the inner man, for the most important part of you is your spirit. ORU has a well-defined program of academic excellence. Along with excelling in the education of the mind, you will be expected to add the other two dimensions of your body and spirit. Along with your academic progress and your physical fitness, we expect you to be open to the creative activity of the Holy Spirit in your inner man, indeed in your whole person. The focus is to assist students to develop a Christian worldview, understand their purpose from a Kingdom perspective, and to ultimately know their own core values and live by them. A sad commentary on higher education today is that many students get out of college having had very little or absolutely no exposure to spiritual development. Admittedly, this is a difficult area in which to work. It is not fashionable to teach college students to develop their spiritual life. Many university educations leave students virtually undeveloped in the most meaningful part of their existence. Indeed, some seriously damage what Christian convictions students may have had. Your spiritual development includes a new birth through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, a constant cleansing of your inner self from sin, the baptism in the Holy Spirit in the charismatic dimension for empowerment and personal edification, a manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit through you for meeting the needs of others, a personal witness of your Master to your fellow man, and a daily application of Christian principles to the demands of daily life. In this way, you can learn the meaning of your own life and be in a position to make a worthwhile contribution to help man solve his problems. In this way, you can become a part of the answer and not part of the problem. I think you can emerge as the world's most wanted college graduates. With a healthy body, you know how to take care of a trained and disciplined mind that never settles for less than excellence, governed by an invincible spirit of integrity, inspired by a personal relationship with a living God, and driven by an irresistible desire to be a whole man to make a troubled world whole again; you will be in demand. Now, with all your vital energies, lets get to the task together.

The driveways, lined with lighted flags representing the more than 60 nations from which ORU students come, were made possible through a gift from Ernest Simpson, a former ORU Regent. The centerpiece for the Avenue of Flags is the bronze-sculpted healing hands. The hands, 60 feet high, were a gift from Herbert and Diane Brown and were moved to their present site through a gift from former Regent Gerald Canning, in loving memory of his wife, Marjorie. Billy Joe Daugherty Circle was recently named in honor of Pastor Billy Joe Daugherty, who was an ORU trustee and served as an interim president.

Graduate Financial Aid

Assistantships
College of Business awards range from $600 to $1,100 per semester and are based on a minimum index score of 110, as determined by the College of Business. College of Education awards are available to incoming graduate students as funds are available. College of Theology and Missions awards multiple funds based on entering GPAs, cumulative GPAs, church matching, and alumni status. The academic scholarship minimum GPA requirement is 3.50 with awards ranging from $700 to $1,700 per academic year. Students are strongly encouraged to file the FAFSA to qualify for the maximum amount of available funding.
The minimum SAP requirements at the end of each academic year (fall/spring) are as follows: Attempted hours GPA 1-26 1.50 27-59 1.75 60+ 2.00 In addition to these GPA/hour requirements students must complete at least 75% of their hours attempted each academic year and cannot exceed 192 total attempted hours. Transfer students are positioned relative to the number of college credits accepted by ORU. Credit is not awarded for noncredit or audited courses, or for grades of F, I, or W. Graduate students must meet all requirements for retention in their respective graduate programs (including GPA) as listed in the college sections of this catalog. Students not meeting the above requirements can take summer courses to remove deficiencies. Freshmen and sophomores are given an automatic year of probation when not making satisfactory academic progress, but must be making progress by the conclusion of the sophomore year in order to receive additional aid. Juniors and seniors may appeal a denial of aid with proper documentation when extenuating circumstances exist.
ORU Maximum Aid

The maximum amount of ORU scholarship and grants (institutional aid) a student can receive in each academic year (with the exception of athletic grants and ORU National Merit Scholarships) is limited to tuition costs. ORU awards that exceed this total are reduced to be in compliance with this policy and cannot be used in future semesters. ORU scholarships for undergraduate students are limited to four years (eight consecutive semesters).
Loans
Federal Perkins Loans are awarded on the basis of the FAFSA results to full-time students. Interest is deferred while the student is in school but begins to accrue at a fixed 5% rate nine months after the borrower ceases to be enrolled at least half-time at an eligible institution. Federal Stafford Loans are awarded to students on the basis of FASFA results and exist in subsidized and unsubsidized forms. Direct Subsidized Stafford Loans have a 4.5% fixed interest rate deferred as long as the borrower is enrolled at least half-time, while Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans accrue interest quarterly at a fixed rate of 6.8% during attendance. Repayment for both types begins six months after the borrower ceases to be enrolled at least half-time at an eligible institution. Dependent undergraduate students may not borrow in excess of $31,000 combined subsidized and unsubsidized while independent undergraduate students (or those who are denied the PLUS loan on credit) are limited to $57,5000 combined total. Regardless of combination, the subsidized portion of the loan may not exceed $23,000. Federal Direct Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (Direct PLUS) may be secured by parents of dependent students for amounts up to the cost of education minus other aid awarded. Disbursement of the Direct PLUS loan is contingent upon the parents approved credit. Interest is charged on the loan from the date of the first disbursement at a fixed rate of 7.9% until the loan is paid in full. Repayment begins within 60 days of the final disbursement unless other arrangements (including in-school deferment or forbearance) have been made with the Direct Loan government program.
Loans
Federal Stafford Loans are awarded to students on the basis of FASFA results and exist in subsidized and unsubsidized forms. Direct Subsidized Stafford Loans have a 4.5% interest deferred as long as the borrower is enrolled at least half-time, while Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans accrue interest quarterly at a fixed rate of 6.8% during attendance. Repayment for both types begins six months after a borrower ceases to be enrolled at least half-time at an eligible institution. Federal Direct PLUS Loans for Graduate Students (Direct GPLUS) are federally sponsored loans for graduate students. Students may borrow up to the full cost of their education less other aid received, including Federal Direct Stafford Loans. The Direct Graduate GPLUS Loan is a credit-based loan with an interest rate fixed at 7.9%. The loan goes into repayment 60 days after it is fully disbursed and has a repayment period of up to 10 years. Students can defer repayment of principal and interest while enrolled at least half-time in an eligible program. A FAFSA is required to apply for a Direct Graduate PLUS.
Full-Time Requirement
All ORU grants and scholarships require full-time enrollment each semester. Undergraduate students in residential classes are considered full-time when enrolled in 12 hours or more per semester. Students taking all correspondence courses are never considered as more than half-time students for financial aid purposes, even if they are taking more than 12 hours. Graduate students are considered full time with nine hours of enrollment.. A student who has been awarded financial aid as a full-time student but who is not enrolled as a full-time student by the drop/add deadline will be reclassified as a part-time student for the purposes of receiving financial aid. Institutional aid and loans will be adjusted.
Financial Aid Disbursement

Financial aid awards are credited to students' accounts after the drop/add period. Students will receive a refund of excess federal and outside financial aid from the Student Accounts Office if the funds received exceed institutional charges and all financial aid files are complete. First-time students may be subject to a 30-day federal delay in the disbursement of loan funds to ORU. Students should arrive at ORU with funds to cover a minimum of three month's living expenses and be able to pay institutional charges at ORU.
Financial Aid Policies

Satisfactory Academic Progress
ORU students must maintain satisfactory academic progress (SAP) to receive financial aid. Undergraduates must meet or exceed the requirements that follow. Students who do not meet the minimum GPA/hour requirements after the scheduled academic year (fall/spring) are not eligible to receive further financial assistance until they have met the requirements. The Registrar's decision concerning enrollment at ORU is separate from the decision of eligibility for financial aid.
Employment
Federal Work Study is awarded on the basis of the FAFSA results. The actual amount received by the student is determined by the number of hours worked, not to exceed $2,500 per academic year. Federal work study opportunities both on and off campus are listed online at http://www.orugoldenhire.com.
Withdrawal
Federal law requires that when a student withdraws during a payment period or period of enrollment, the amount of financial aid earned up to that point be determined. If the student received less financial aid

official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. The right to request the amendment of education records that the student believes is inaccurate or misleading. A student may ask the university to amend a record that he or she believes is inaccurate or misleading. The student should write the university official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record to be changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the university decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the university will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the students education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is defined as a person employed by the university in an administrative, supervisory, academic, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit and health staff); a person or company with whom the university has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, degree, or enrollment verification service such as the National Clearinghouse, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. ORU designates the following categories of student information as public or Directory Information. Such information may be disclosed by the institution for any purpose, at its discretion. Category I: Name, address, telephone number, dates of attendance, classification. Category II: Previous institution(s) attended, major field of study, awards, honors, degree(s) conferred (including dates). Category III: Past and present participation in officially recognized sports and activities, physical factors (height, weight) of athletes, date and place of birth. Category IV: Grade reports to parents or guardians of undergraduate students who are of dependent status. Currently enrolled students may withhold disclosure of any category of information under FERPA. To withhold disclosure, written notification must be received in the Registrars Office. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the university to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The following is name and address of the office that administers FERPA: Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202-4605 Undergraduate students declare dependent or independent status as part of the registration process. Dependent or independent status is based on whether or not the student was claimed on the parents most recent IRS Tax Form. ORU reserves the right to amend dependent/independent information that is deemed inaccurate. Parents may obtain non-directory information (grades, GPA, etc.) only at the discretion of the institution and after it has been determined that their child is legally their dependent. Dependent status can be established via the submission of a certified copy of the parents most recent Federal Income Tax Form unless there is a court order, state statute, or other legally binding document prohibiting such. Parents also may obtain non-directory information by obtaining a signed consent from their child. More information, including a tutorial, is available on the ORU website.
than the amount earned, the student will be able to receive those additional funds; if the student has received more financial aid than the earned amount, the excess funds will be returned to their sources and the student may owe ORU for institutional charges. The amount of assistance earned is determined on a pro-rated basis. For example, if 30% of the payment period or period of enrollment has been completed, the student has earned 30% of the originally scheduled financial assistance. Once the student has completed more than 60% of the payment period or period of enrollment, all assistance is earned.
Disclosure of Information
ORUs policy on the disclosure of financial information is governed by the Family Education al Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and can be found in the next section of this catalog.
ENROLLMENT
Classification of Students
A students classification is determined as follows: Freshmanfewer than 27 semester hours Sophomore27 to 59 semester hours Junior60 to 89 semester hours Senior90 semester hours or more The standard number of semester hours needed to receive an undergraduate degree is 128; however, some degrees require more hours, as specified in the department sections of this catalog.
ACADEMIC INFORMATION AND POLICIES

ACADEMIC RECORDS
The Registrars Office maintains a file on each enrolled student. Student files contain correspondence and communication that take place between the student, the university, and the public. Information within the file is maintained according to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, as amended. This act was designed to protect the privacy of education records, to establish records, and to provide guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data through informal and formal hearings. Students have the right to file complaints with FERPA concerning alleged failures by the institution to comply with this act. Students may access their grade reports via the Web at the end of each semester. It is the students responsibility to seek correction for any apparent errors and to keep the Registrars Office informed of any mailing address changes. Failure on the students part to seek correction within one year after the conclusion of the semester the course was taken indicates that records are accurate as stated.
Classification of Courses
Courses are identified with letters and numbers. The letters refer to the subject area, and the first digit of the course number indicates the level. 100s First year 200s Second year 300s Third year 400s Fourth year 500 and above Graduate or professional For each term, five-digit Course Reference Numbers (CRNs) are assigned to each course section to facilitate registration.
Catalog Requirements and Readmissions

A candidate completing a degree program at ORU within the regular time period outlined for the degree or in a period of continuous full-time enrollment may earn the degree under the catalog of the year of matriculation or choose to meet the full requirements in the catalog of any one of the intervening subsequent years. This must be done in writing and submitted to the Registrars Office. A full-time student who is readmitted and whose re-enrollment is continuous to graduation may meet the full requirements of the catalog of the year in which the student re-enrolls or the full requirements of the catalog of any one of the intervening subsequent years. Any student not maintaining continuous enrollment must meet the requirements of the catalog of the most recent year of entry. Seven years is the time limit a student has to meet the degree requirements under a particular catalog. After seven years, the student is required to satisfy the requirements of the newest catalog. Prior credits earned do not expire, however.
THE FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT (FERPA)

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records beginning the first day of class. These rights are as follows: The right to inspect and review the students education records within 45 days of the day the university receives a request for access. Students should submit to the registrar written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The university official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the university official to whom the request was submitted, that
Registration
Students, with the approval of their academic advisors, plan their programs in accordance with the degree plans for their declared majors or graduate programs as outlined in this catalog or any curriculum changes approved since publication. Student enroll-

ment must be completed according to the academic calendar. No registration is final until the Honor Code has been formally accepted and signed in chapel. No contract arises from enrollment; the university reserves the right to alter its rules and regulations at any time. The university reserves the right to cancel any course for which enrollment is considered insufficient. Kong, and other areas. Students study the Chinese language, geography, history, religion, and culture. A service opportunity allows students to assist in English classes. The Contemporary Music Center, on the island of Martha's Vineyard, offers students the opportunity to study and work with faculty and music industry experts who share an interest in making and marketing contemporary music. The program is for any student considering a career as a musician, vocalist, songwriter, producer, engineer, artist manager, booking agent, A&R director, marketing executive, music publisher, concert promoter or entertainment industry entrepreneur. An intensive field experience in Nashville is included. The Latin American Studies Program is based in San Jose, Costa Rica. It allows students to experience cross-cultural living, to deepen their understandings of the Lordship of Christ in an international context, to explore the economic, political, social, and cultural realities of Latin America, and to examine North Americas relationship with its Latin neighbors. The Los Angeles Film Studies Center exists to introduce students to the work and workings of Hollywood and to prepare them to serve with professional skill and Christian integrity in the film industry. The Middle East Studies Program, based in Israel, helps students understand the history, religions, peoples, and cultures of this fascinating and complex region. As part of the Conflict and Change course, students hear guest speakers and travel to select locations in Israel. Conditions permitting, they will also go to Cairo, Egypt. The Scholars Semester in Oxford presents a rigorous academic program aimed at increasing critical thinking skills and scholarship. Students choose from a wide variety of tutorial study programs in the arts, religion, history, economics, philosophy, and many others. A small group seminar and an integrative course are designed to guide students on faith and learning issues. Field trips accentuate Englands rich historical setting. The Russian Studies Program is unique in that it draws on the resources of three Russian cities. Students spend 10 days in Moscow, 12 weeks in Nizhni Novgorod, and 10 days in St. Petersburg studying the history, culture, religion, politics, language, and current events of Russia. The Uganda Studies Program offers students a personal encounter with this country, which has become an economic and public health model in its region. Program courses taught by local faculty in the English tutorial tradition immerse students in a uniquely African experience. Topics such as African literature, African history, and Christianity and Islam in contemporary Africa provide insights into African life because of the guidance of local faculty. The Washington Journalism Center provides a semester of experience on Capitol Hill. Students use professional news skills and learn about being a Christian working in the news media of the nations capital.

Other Programs
ORU also participates with the following programs: Au Sable Institute of Environmental Studies. Information is available in the Biology and Chemistry Department section of this catalog. (This is on the CCCU registry.) The Focus on the Family Institute, located in Colorado Springs, offers a multidisciplinary curriculum for students from ORU and other participating colleges from the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities. The Institute focuses on topics related not only to psychology, sociology and family studies, but also to leadership, social ethics, public policy, philosophy and theology. (This is on the CCCU registry.) The Recording Workshop. Information is available in the Music Department section of this catalog. The H.E.A.R.T. Institute (Hunger Education and Resources Training) is an interdenominational center that trains students to serve in Third World locations. Located in Florida, the center simulates village life to provide students with practical, hands-on experience. The curriculum includes technical, problem solving, and coping skills in an effort to prepare students for challenging endeavors overseas.
Non-Traditional Coursework
Courses by Special Arrangement
With the permission of the students advisor, the department concerned, and the instructor of a particular subject listed in the online course schedule, a student may complete a course by special arrangement/ directed study. Directed study courses are charged at the same rate as other residential courses. The objectives of the course, as defined in the current syllabus, must be met. Special assignments, tests, and conferences may be required to satisfy the instructor and department concerned that the objectives have been achieved. A course of study that involves extensive work while the student is absent from the campus can be pursued only upon the approval of a petition presented to the dean of the respective college.
Credit by Examination or Demonstration

With the permission of the department chair or dean concerned, students currently enrolled in the university may petition to demonstrate (either by examination or other means) mastery of the usual course material covered to earn credit in any subject listed in the catalog. Students may not petition for credit in this manner for courses in which they have been enrolled during previous semesters. After successfully petitioning, students must enroll in Section 85 (the test-out section) of the desired classes before the last day to add classes. The student and department faculty involved then schedule the demonstration. Students who attempt to receive credit for courses by examination or demonstration will have the grades posted on their transcripts. Grades of A, B, or C are posted as earned. The words "test-out" appear as part of the course title on the ORU transcript. Grades of D or F are posted as NP (no pass). Students who do not take the exam or complete the required demonstrations and neglect to drop the courses by the end of the drop period for the semester receive grades of F, which are posted as NP (no pass). Graduate students and part-time undergraduate students are charged one-half tuition for recording the credit. Full-time undergraduate students are charged one-half tuition for any hours over 18.5. . If a student takes the exam before the add/drop deadline and receives a grade of NP, the student may petition to enroll in a non-test-out section of the class. The petition must be approved by the professor of record, college dean, Director of Student Accounts, and registrar. The student must pay the difference between the original tuition charge for a test-out class and the full tuition charge for a non-test-out section of the class.
Online Courses
Online courses offered in the fall and spring through the ORU distance learning are eight weeks in duration. Those offered through one of the universitys residential academic departments last the entire semester (16 weeks). A residential student wanting to take an ORU distance learning course during the fall or spring must file a Petition for Policy Exception with the dean of the distance learning. It must also be approved by the academic advisor and department chair by the last day to add classes. Online course enrollment during the fall or spring semesters contributes to the fulfillment of the 12-hour minimum for full-time status; however, it may affect full-time financial aid.
Off-Campus and Study Abroad Programs

Students may design personalized study abroad programs, working closely with academic advisors to develop a proposed program at least one year in advance of studying abroad. Prior to going abroad, the proposals must be approved by ORUs International Study Committee. ORU awards credit for the following off-campus programs (semester and summer) offered by the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU).
CCCU Semester Programs

The Australia Studies Centre (ASC) seeks to prepare students to live the Christian life in a religiously and culturally pluralistic world. Students examine the many faces of Australia and are challenged to grapple with the meaning of being salt and light in the cultureshaping arena of the professional performing artist. The American Studies Program (ASP) is designed to help students integrate faith with the realities of the marketplace and public life. Through a semester of experiential learning in Washington, DC, ASP students explore their career interests while examining specific public policy issues. The China Studies Program enables students to view China from the inside and to experience its culture and its diversities. Although students reside primarily on the campuses of Chinas premier universities in Xian and Shanghai they also experience Beijing, Hong
CCCU Summer Programs

The Oxford Summer Programme is designed to enable students to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between Christianity and culture and to participate in specialized study under Oxford academicians. This is a five-week study program built around lectures focusing on Christianity and the development of Western culture. In addition to lectures, students enroll in a Field Seminar and a Topical Seminar. The program is appropriate for rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors; graduate and seminary students; non-traditional students; and those enrolled in continuing education programs.
Continuation as a Student
Continuation as a student at Oral Roberts University is not automatic. Basic academic, spiritual, and physical requirements must be satisfied. Additionally, all prior balances must be paid in full. Students admitted on probation must earn sufficient credit within the first academic year to be removed from probation. Failure to be removed from probation may result in suspension. Students consult with their program advisors prior to each enrollment period. Progress for students is monitored by the advi-

Graduate The full-time load for masters-level students in the Graduate School of Business, the Graduate School of Education, and the Graduate School of Theology and Missions is nine hours. . The full-time load for doctoral students in the Graduate School of Education is six hours per semester while enrolled in the coursework phase of the program. Two hours per semester constitutes a full-time load when enrolled in dissertation. Students in the dissertation phase are required to enroll in a minimum of two credits for the fall and spring semesters (continuous enrollment) until their dissertation is successfully defended or the student is withdrawn from the program The student must complete a minimum of eight dissertation credit hours. The full-time load for doctoral students in the Graduate School of Theology and Ministry is six hours per semester while enrolled in the coursework phase of the program. One hour per semester is considered fulltime when enrolled in the project phase. review committee's decision by contacting the Director of Student Resources, as stipulated in the Reasonable Accommodation Policy of Oral Roberts University,
sors and the students, based on the appropriate degree plan sheet. Retention for graduate students is contingent upon the following: Students must maintain the standards, grades, and grade point averages appropriate to the degree programs in all work done for credit (including HPE courses) toward meeting the degree requirements. Students must meet the requirements of a physical activity by enrolling in and passing HPE courses as specified in their degree plans. Students must attend chapel according to the guidelines established by Student Development. Students must maintain the lifestyle as defined in the student handbook. The university may request the withdrawal of students at any time if they fail to comply with the standards and regulations of the institution or are not compatible with its philosophy. It is imperative for students to understand that attending and receiving a degree from ORU is a privilege, not a right.
Adding and Dropping

Students may drop or add courses, with the approval of their faculty advisors and the departments in which the courses are offered, within the first two weeks of classes, provided the total load does not exceed 18.5 hours. A signature from the major department chair is required to enroll in more than 18.5 hours. When a course is dropped after two weeks, a W is recorded for students passing at the time of the drop. For students not passing, WF is recorded. Students withdrawing from a class after the twelfth week receive a WF. The WF is counted as an F in determining the grade point average. Students called up for military duty can request a WM.
Class and Laboratory Attendance

Attendance Policy
It is assumed that students will make the most of the educational opportunities available to them by regularly and punctually attending class and laboratory periods. Therefore, regular class attendance is required as a condition of receiving credit for work done in the class. A student absent from a class or laboratory period is subject to a loss of privilege status, and the instructor may reduce the students grade or deny credit for that course unless the student satisfactorily accounts for the absence. Students who wish to appeal the instructors decision may do so using this procedure: meet with the department chair for resolution of the excuse, then with the dean of that particular college, and ultimately with the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The attendance policy for each course is stated in the syllabus for that course. Therefore, all matters of attendance and the privilege of making up assignments or tests, except for administratively excused absences, are between the student and the professor.
Course Loads
Definition of a Credit Hour
ORU meets or exceeds the following requirements in the federal definition of credit hour: Federal Credit Hour Definition: A credit hour is an amount of work represented in intended learning outcomes and verified by evidence of student achievement that is an institutionally-established equivalency that reasonably approximates not less than (1) one hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours of out-of-class student work each week for approximately 15 weeks for one semester or trimester hour of credit, or 10 to 12 weeks for one quarter hour of credit, or the equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time; or (2) at least an equivalent amount of work as required in paragraph (1) of this definition for other activities as established by an institution, including laboratory work, internships, practica, studio work, and other academic work leading toward to the award of credit hours.
Summer Sessions
Full-time student status during a summer session is defined as being enrolled in a minimum of three credit hours. A student may enroll in a maximum of six credit hours in a summer session only if the course includes a one-hour lab, a five-hour foreign language course, or if the enrollment includes an HPE activity course. Students may enroll in a maximum of six hours of online courses during an seven-week session. A student may also enroll in online courses during the summer term. A maximum of 16 combined hours (residential and online) is permitted during the summer.
Full-Time Status for Students with Disabilities

Students who have a self-identified disability and unable to enroll in the required number of semester hours to meet the ORU definition of full-time status may request an accommodation allowing them to enroll in part-time hours while remaining on a full-time status. Requesting this accommodation could affect the students financial aid. Students need to check with their financial aid counselors for more information. If this accommodation is approved, tuition is calculated on a per credit hour basis. The required procedure for requesting an accommodation follows: 1. Prior to the beginning of the semester, the student submits appropriate documentation of the disability to the Director of the Office of Student Resources, along with a request for a reduced course load. 2. The student must provide the Director of the Office of Student Resources with transcripts from ORU and/or previous institutions. 3. The Director of the Office of Student Resources forms a review committee, including the director and the students academic dean or representative. 4. The review committee makes a decision on the student's request. If the accommodation is approved, the committee determines the duration of the program. In addition, all requirements applicable to full-time students as stated in the ORU student handbook apply, including, but not limited to, the residential policy, chapel attendance, and the HPE requirement. 5. At the end of the approved duration, the student may re-apply. The review committee reassesses the students academic progress to determine if the accommodation will be renewed. If the accommodation is not approved or renewed as requested, the student may appeal the
Fall and Spring Terms

Undergraduate Full-time student status for the fall or spring semesters is defined as being enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours; thus, a student must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours to be considered full-time and to be eligible for benefits of full-time status, such as most forms of financial aid. The typical course load consists of 16 hours each semester; however, in some disciplines the load may be heavier. Recorded course withdrawal does not change full-time status unless the student withdraws from all courses, which indicates withdrawal from the university. Residential students wanting to enroll in online courses during the fall and spring semesters must submit a petition to the dean of distance learning. Online courses contribute toward the fulfillment of the 12-hour requirement; however, it may affect full-time financial aid. Undergraduate students wanting to take more than 18.5 hours in a given semester must get written permission of the major department chair. Students may not take more than 24.0 hours in a given semester.
Late Exam Fee

Students taking a late exam because of an unauthorized absence are charged a late exam fee. Final exams cannot be given before their scheduled times. Students need to check the final exam schedule online before planning return flights or other events at the end of the semester.
Administrative Excuses
Students absent from a class or laboratory period at the request of the university administration are given an administratively excused absence by the Vice President for Academic Affairs. This excuse grants the students the privilege of making up assignments, tests, or other work missed because of the absences without unreasonable limitations or penalties. The only absences that are administratively excused are for official university business. The Vice President for Academic Affairs must sign all official administratively excused absences. All other absences are between the students and professors. The Student Development Office does not give administrative excuses for individual absences, such as funeral leave or student illness. For funeral leave, the Student Development Office follows the policy that absences should be worked out between students and professors. Missing classes because of a funeral for

someone other than immediate family members may be deemed as an unexcused absence by some professors. Student Health Services does not give administrative excuses for absences as a result of illness. This also is a matter between students and professors. most recent grade of a repeated course counts in the GPA. The student must notify the Registrars Office of any repeated courses by completing a Report of Repeated Course form. Courses may be repeated outside ORU with departmental approval; however, grade point averages earned at ORU remain on the transcript and are not affected by grades earned elsewhere. Double credit is not awarded for repeated classes. Some seminars, internships, music lessons, dance classes, ensembles, and HPE activity courses may be taken more than once for credit.
29
Grading System
Grade points are assigned to each grade: four grade points are awarded for each semester hour of A, three for B, two for C, one for D, and zero for F. Other grades that may appear on the transcript include W (withdrawal), WF (withdraw/failure), WM (withdraw/military), I (incomplete), E (extension of incomplete), P (pass), NP (no pass), AU (audit), and M (missing grade). None of these other grades is used in the computation of the grade point average except the WF. A minimum grade point average of 2.0 per semester hour must be earned for all undergraduate work and 3.0 for graduate work to qualify for graduation. No grade below C may apply toward the major or professional education courses. Normally a grade of C is required for courses in concentrations. Generally, a course in which a D is earned may apply toward general education, minor, cognate, and general elective degree requirements. Some departments may have more rigorous requirements.
Pass/No-Pass Option
Junior students in good standing may choose the pass/no-pass option for any general elective courses above 12 hours each semester. Seniors in good standing may choose the pass/no-pass option for any general elective courses above one-half of their enrollments. This option must be declared during registration or by the last day to add classes for the semester. (More information is available in the Grading System section.) Students choosing the pass/no-pass option receive a standard grade from the instructor, but this grade is converted to a P or NP grade on the grade report and transcript. Grades of A, B, or C are converted to a pass grade; grades of D or F are converted to the no-pass grade. Credits taken under the pass/no-pass option are not counted in the GPA. The pass/no-pass option may not be chosen to fulfill general education requirements or requirements for a major, minor, concentration, or cognate.
hours to complete in the summer are eligible to apply for graduation. All monies owed to the university must be paid in full prior to commencement for students to participate in commencement exercises. The diploma fee is nonrefundable for candidates who fail to submit requests to withdraw the application in writing by April 1. If, for any reason, a candidate does not complete a degree program by the anticipated graduation date, the student must complete any deficiencies by August 31 of that year. Undergraduate students can participate in hooding and commencement activities if they have completed all of the graduation requirements or if they (1) have the Registrars verification that they do not lack more than six hours from degree completion and (2) have enrolled in summer school to complete those courses.
Withdrawal from the University

A student withdrawing from the university must initiate the process by completing paperwork in the Student Development Office. If a student leaves campus before going to the Student Development Office, he or she must submit, in writing, a notice of withdrawal to the Student Development Office. The date that the notice is received constitutes the official date of withdrawal, and all applicable financial and academic policies will apply. The last day to withdraw from the university is the date for the final day of class. The calendar at the beginning of this catalog lists such dates.
Incompletes
The grade of I is given for work that is incomplete at the time grades are given. It is given only after the instructor and the department chair or college dean approve a petition submitted by the student that his or her work is incomplete for good cause. It is the responsibility of the student to make up any incomplete work and ask the instructor to submit a grade change to the registrar. If this is not done in the subsequent semester, the incomplete will be changed to an F. Graduating seniors must make up any incomplete work by March 1 to remain eligible for commencement participation.
Audit
Undergraduate students (with the approval of the instructor) and graduate students (with the approval of the instructor, academic advisor, and dean) may enroll as audit without credit in any undergraduate or graduate course, respectively, offered by ORU by the last day to add courses for the semester. Students may request the option of receiving grades by notifying the registrar and obtaining credit for the course. Courses audited without credit will not count toward completion of a degree or load credit. Students are responsible for any tuition incurred as a result of requesting that courses be changed from audit to credit or vice versa. Some restrictions apply to the College of Theology and Ministry. Normally, regular class attendance as outlined in the syllabus is required to receive an audit on the transcript. A student who withdraws from an audit course by requesting that the instructor send a memo to the Registrars Office before the last day of class shall have that course deleted from the transcript. If a student does not withdraw and does not meet audit requirements as determined by the instructor for the course, a no pass grade is recorded on the transcript.
PROBATION AND SUSPENSION

Academic
Students are expected to make satisfactory progress toward a degree or other approved objective to be eligible to continue enrolling in the university. A probation list, based on students academic achievements for the previous 12 months, is compiled once each academic year prior to the fall semester. Students are placed on probation if they fail to complete at least 75% of the hours attempted for the previous two semesters. Credit is not awarded for grades of F, I, or W. Likewise, credit is not awarded for noncredit or audited courses. Students whose grade point averages fall below the minimums required for total quality hours are also placed on probation. These minimums appear in the following chart: Total Quality Minimum Hours Attempted GPA Required 1-32 1.50 33-64 1.75 More than 64 2.00 Students are removed from probation when they submit additional academic work sufficient to raise them to the minimum requirements. Academic progress is re-evaluated at the end of the following fall semester. Normally, students who are not removed from the probation list after one full year are suspended. Students on probation are generally not eligible for financial aid. Students accepted into ORU on probationary status are subject to the same policies as students placed on probation. Graduate students should consult the graduate academic standing policies in the appropriate graduate sections. Upon recommendation of the college dean and approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, a student may be put on probation or may be suspended at any time for severely inadequate academic work. Such suspension may be temporary or permanent.
Extension of Incompletes
The grade of E is given for work that remains incomplete longer than the one semester allowed to make up incomplete work. It is given only after the student establishes with the instructor and the department chair or college dean, by written permission, that his or her work remains incomplete for good cause. It is the responsibility of the student to make up any incomplete work and ask the instructor to submit a grade change to the registrar. If this is not done within the second semester following enrollment in the course, the extended incomplete will convert to an F.
Course Withdrawal
If a student drops a course after two weeks, a W is recorded provided the student is passing at the time of the withdrawal. If the reason for withdrawal is being called for military duty, then the student can request a WM. If the student is not passing, WF is recorded. Any student who withdraws from a class after the twelfth week receives a WF, which is counted as an F in determining the GPA. A recorded course withdrawal form must be used to request a W or WF. Undergraduate students enrolled full-time are not permitted to withdraw from their health fitness courses.
Application for Graduation

The last 30 semester hours of a baccalaureate degree program, including at least six hours in the major field and the senior paper/project, must be taken at ORU. The minimum number of credits required for an undergraduate degree is 128 semester hours. Students should refer to the department and college sections for information regarding the number of hours and the specific requirements for completing degrees. An application for an undergraduate or graduate degree must be filed with the Registrars Office during the fall semester prior to commencement. This process is completed online. Undergraduate and graduate students completing their degree requirements in the fall or spring and undergraduate students with six or fewer

the Association of Theological Schools (ATS). Technical or vocational courses are not ordinarily considered for transfer. No credit is given for any course with less than a C level grade. Transfer credits from institutions that are not regionally accredited may be accepted on the same basis they are accepted by the reporting institution in their own state. ORU may accept courses demonstrated as acceptable to at least three regionally accredited institutions. Transfer credit is based on the transfer guidelines established by ORU (available on request). Courses that do not have an ORU equivalent but are academic in nature are counted as general elective credit unless transferred in to meet a specific requirement through a petition to transfer course. ORU accepts test-out credit from regionally accredited institutions in accordance with the established ORU Transfer Guidelines. Grade of A, B, or C on a test-out are recorded as a TPC on the ORU transcript. Grades of D and F are recorded as an NTD on the ORU transcript. The words test-out appear as part of the course title on the ORU transcript. For students entering ORU fall 2006 or later from a community or junior college, a maximum of 72 semester hours may be transferred to ORU. For students entering before fall 2006, a maximum of 64 semester hours may be transferred to ORU. A maximum of 98 hours can be transferred from four-year institutions. The last 30 semester hours of a degree program, including at least six hours in the major field and the senior paper or project, must be taken at ORU. Transcripts submitted to ORU become the property of ORU and are stored in students permanent files. They cannot be copied or reissued except for on-campus advisement purposes, in which case the documents are delivered directly to academic departments. mation is available in the department sections of this catalog that have specific articulation agreements. Following are articulation agreements that apply to a broader range of students transferring to ORU from Tulsa Community College, Christ for the Nations Institute, Teen Mania, Victory Bible Institute, and Victory World Missions Training Center.
Financial Obligations
Every student is required to meet financial obligations to the university according to the Settlement of Accounts section found under Financial Information in this catalog. Failure to meet these requirements may result in suspension.
HONORS
Honor Rolls
The Vice President for Academic Affairs honor roll recognizes undergraduate students who carry at least 12 hours for credit in a semester, exclusive of pass/nopass courses, and who attain a grade point average of 3.50 or higher with no grade below C. The Presidents honor roll recognizes undergraduate students who carry at least 12 hours for credit in a semester, exclusive of pass/no-pass courses, and who attain a grade point average of 4.00. A student doesnt appear on both lists, only on the higher one he or she qualifies for.
Articulation Agreement with Tulsa Community College

An articulation agreement between Tulsa Community College (TCC) and ORU has been developed to assist students with an associates degree from TCC to obtain a bachelors degree at ORU. This agreement allows students from TCC to transfer to ORU and receive the maximum allowable credit towards a bachelors degree.
Admission Criteria
Students interested in transferring from TCC to ORU under this articulation agreement need to do the following: Apply for admission to Oral Roberts University. Meet ORUs minimum academic and admissions transfer requirements. Complete all TCC courses before taking any ORU courses. Transfer between 60 and 72 hours. Understand that only courses with a grade of C or better can be transferred. Understand that no remedial or developmental courses can be transferred. TCC and ORU also have an Honors Transfer Articulation Agreement designed to facilitate the transfer of students between the honors programs at TCC and ORU. Transfer students may be given full credit for their honors hours earned when the credit is appropriate to the students degree program and the receiving institution (ORU) has validated the courses, with the following additional provisions: TCC Honors Scholars with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher qualify for the ORU Honors Program and may use up to 12 transfer honors credit hours toward the 21 honors hours required for graduating as a transfer scholar. TCC Honors Scholars must earn an A or B in any TCC honors class for it to be used to meet ORU Honors Program requirements. TCC students who meet the ORU Honors Program requirements (minimum 29 ACT or 1280 SAT and minimum overall GPA of 3.5 from TCC) may apply for the Honors Program Scholars Scholarship. The deadline is March 1. ORU Honors Program students transferring to TCCs Honors Program may use 12 transfer honors hours from ORU toward TCC Honors Scholar graduation requirements (24 honors credit hours or 21 honors credit hours plus an approved honors service learning project). Both institutions intend to remain active members of the Great Plains Honors Council and the National Collegiate Honors Council.
Graduating with Honors

Honors are determined for the commencement program and ceremony, for both graduate and undergraduate students, based on the cumulative GPA at the conclusion of the fall semester prior to graduation. Honors on the diploma include the final semester of coursework for the degree, the grade earned on the senior paper or project and the oral defense of the senior paper or project.
Undergraduate
Students who fulfill the degree requirements with cumulative grade point averages (GPAs) of at least 3.80 and earn grades of A or B on the senior paper/project receive the distinction summa cum laude. Students with cumulative GPAs between 3.60 and 3.79 who earn grades of A or B on the senior paper/project receive the distinction magna cum laude. Students with a cumulative GPA between 3.40 and 3.59 who earn a grade of A or B on the senior paper/project receive the distinction cum laude. To receive honors, students also must be successful in the oral defense of the senior paper/project.
Transferring Credit from Oklahoma Colleges and Universities

Oral Roberts University participates in the Course Equivalency Project (CEP) sponsored by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. CEP is a postsecondary education resource service that provides course equivalency information to facilitate student transfer within the Oklahoma System of Higher Education. Its database contains faculty-generated course equivalency information for hundreds of courses offered at most institutions in Oklahoma. The courses are organized by discipline: biology, history, etc. Within each discipline, several equivalency groups appear, each containing a collection of courses from sponsoring institutions. Credit for a course within a group can be transferred to any system institution that sponsors a course in that group. The entire matrix of courses and their transferability can be found at http://www.okhighered.org/student-center/transfer-stdnts/course-transfer.shtml. Prerequisites for these courses must be met.
Graduate
Graduate students completing a masters program with 4.00 GPAs receive the distinction with high honors, and those with GPAs between 3.80 and 3.99 receive the distinction with honors. Doctoral programs do not have specific honors distinctions.
TRANSFERRING CREDIT
Credit can be transferred to ORU in several ways. Some involve earning credit before enrolling at ORU (matriculating) and some after.
Transferring Credit before Matriculation

ORU accepts liberal arts courses from regionally accredited institutions. Regionally accredited means that an institution is accredited by one of the six regionally stipulated accreditation agencies approved by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). ORU also accepts credits from schools accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE), and
Transferring Credit through Articulation Agreements

Articulation agreements are agreements between two educational entities to ease the transfer process for students transferring from one educational institution to the other. Oral Roberts University has several articulation agreements to help provide a seamless transition for students transferring into ORU as well as ORU students transferring out to enroll in programs not offered at ORU (e.g., speech or physical therapy).

Victory Bible Institute Victory World Missions Training Center Thus, articulation agreements between ORU and these educational entities have been developed to assist students transferring to ORU in order to obtain a bachelors degree from ORU. These agreements help provide a seamless transition process that allows students from these educational entities to transfer to ORU and receive the maximum allowable credit towards a baccalaureate degree. National Institute of Christian Leadership The ORU Undergraduate Department of Theology and Ministry and the National Institute of Christian Leadership (NICL) have entered into the following agreement:: Students who successfully complete two seminars within the NICL, and are properly accepted into Oral Roberts University, based on normal entrance requirements, may earn three transfer credit hours towards a BA degree in the ORU College of Theology and Ministry. A maximum of six credit hours may be earned through completion of all four seminars. The transfer credit hours consist of the following: students who successfully complete the seminars entitled Leadership Management and Staff and Volunteers are given credit for CHRM 460 Church Administration; and students who successfully complete the seminars entitled Preaching and Worship and Strategic Leadership for Growth are given credit for CHRM 302 Christian Leadership. Students pursuing a degree are required to meet all degree program requirements as stated in the ORU catalog. Credit earned in military service schools or through the U.S. Armed Forces Institute are reviewed by the Registrars Office. Credit may be granted if approved by petition. Basic Military Training meets the ORU general education requirements for Health Fitness I and II.

Graduate students and students in distance learning programs may obtain and process Petitions for Policy Exception through the Adult Learning Service Center.
CURRICULUM
The faculty, in its dedication to the goals and purposes of the university, believes its distinct responsibility is to provide an educational environment in which all students can realize their full intellectual, physical, and spiritual potentials. The faculty feels this is best achieved within the framework of a curriculum of liberal studies, a curriculum that represents the dimensions of life in a free societyart, history, humanities, languages, literature, mathematics, music, natural sciences, religion, social sciencesa curriculum that also encourages the development of analytical and computational skills, as well as skills in speaking and writing. In addition to the framework of liberal studies and the enhancement of communication skills, the curriculum is designed to provide a Biblical foundation for faith, a charismatic dimension for service, and various opportunities for praise and worship. This curriculum also promotes a lifestyle of physical well-being, not only through coursework in health, nutrition, and physical activities but also through a well-rounded program of intramural sports.
Credit from Examinations

Credit granted through Advanced Placement (AP), the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and Advanced Level (A Level) examinations set by the General Certificate Examination (GCE) Boards appear on student transcripts as accepted credit regardless of whether the students graduate from ORU. More information is available in the section titled Advanced Placement and College Level Examination Program in this catalog.
Credit from Foreign Institutions

ORU generally follows the guidelines set forth by the National Association of Foreign Student Affairs (NAFSA) and the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) when transferring foreign academic credit. The amount of credit granted may vary at the discretion of the degreegranting dean. An official final transcript from the foreign school with an original transcript, an English translation, and course descriptions must be submitted for evaluation in order to transfer credit.
Transferring Credit after Matriculation

To transfer courses after matriculation, ORU students should consult the transfer guidelines established by ORU (available online and by request). Courses that do not have an ORU equivalent but are academic in nature are counted as general elective credit unless transferred in to meet a specific requirement through a Petition to Transfer Course. This approval must be obtained prior to enrollment in those courses. For students entering in the fall 2006 or later, a maximum of 72 semester hours may be transferred to ORU from a community college or junior college. For students entering before fall 2006, a maximum of 64 semester hours may be transferred to ORU. A maximum of 98 hours can be transferred from four-year institutions. The last 30 semester hours of a degree program, including at least six hours in the major field and the senior paper/project, must be taken at ORU.
DEGREES
The university awards both graduate and undergraduate degrees. Many include certification or licensure, while others prepare students to pursue certification or licensure following graduation. Many ORU majors offer specialized study in areas of concentrations. The minimum number of credits required for an undergraduate degree is 128 semester hours. More information is available in the college and departmental sections of this catalog.
Credit from Concurrent Enrollment

High School and College. College credit hours earned while concurrently enrolled in high school are eligible for transfer credit in accordance with ORU transfer guidelines if the hours were earned at a regionally accredited institution or otherwise recognized institution. College credits earned prior to high school graduation that are eligible for transfer credit as ORU 100and 200-level courses are automatically transferred in. College credits earned prior to high school graduation that would transfer in as ORU 300- and 400-level courses, including general elective credit, are eligible for transfer credit by Petition for Policy Exception only.

For example, in the teacher education programs, ORU cannot normally accept credit from junior colleges or community colleges to meet upper-division teacher education requirements.
ACADEMIC POLICY CHANGES

The university reserves the right to change academic policies when deemed necessary and to hold students responsible for any revisions. In the case of any change in courses already completed, students are not obligated to fulfill the new requirements. All changes are announced and officially posted. It is ultimately the students responsibility to stay informed regarding changes that may affect programs and requirements for graduation.
Credit from Non-Accredited (Regional) Institutions

Certification, diploma, associate degree, and other pre-bachelor degree programs issued by institutions not accredited by regional accrediting agencies and without articulation agreements are not accepted for block credit. Courses in these programs may be evaluated individually according to ORU credit transfer policies.
POLICY EXCEPTION

No grade below C may apply toward the major, concentration, or professional education courses. Generally, courses in which a D is earned may apply toward general education, minor, cognate, and general elective requirements. Some departments may have more rigorous requirements. Courses in the first or primary major, including the major concentration (students can choose multiple majors) cannot apply toward any other degree requirement (general education, minor, or cognate). Conversely, no hours in general education, a minor, or a cognate may satisfy requirements for the first or primary major.
ORU seeks to educate the whole person, with balanced emphasis placed on the development of the mind, spirit, and body. The undergraduate curriculum encompasses significant areas of liberal arts and sciences knowledgeBiblical studies, fine arts, humanities, languages, literature, mathematics, natural sciences, and social sciences. The general education core provides a common bond of knowledge for all students; encourages the synthesis and integration of that knowledge into a unified whole; sharpens the skills of communication, computation, and critical analysis; develops appreciation for differing cultures; promotes a lifestyle of physical well-being; and establishes a Scriptural foundation for a vital faith.

Multiple Majors
Students wishing to have one degree with two or more majors listed on their transcripts must complete a senior paper/project in one of the majors. The degree is granted in the major in which the senior paper/project and all other degree requirements are completed. Even though only one senior paper/project is required, the total number of credit hours for each major remains as stated in the degree requirements. To make up the difference in the major without a senior paper/project, an additional upper-division, three-credit-hour course must be taken with the approval of the department chair. Even though they cannot be used to satisfy requirements for the first or primary major, hours used to satisfy requirements for general education, a cognate, or a minor may be used to satisfy requirements for a second or subsequent major. No hours used to satisfy requirements for a major or its concentration may be used to satisfy the requirements in another major or its concentration. Students selecting double majors may be required to satisfy concentration or cognate requirements in both majors. Students desiring double majors should work closely with advisors from all departments/ colleges involved as well as with the Registrars Office.
Dual Degrees
Undergraduate

expected learning outcomes of their educational experiences and (2) how well programs are designed to facilitate that end. The university produces an assessment catalog each academic year, which provides a summary of all assessment activities at ORU. Each activity is linked with one or more of the universitys student learning outcomes. The assessments used at ORU include Whole Person Assessment (WPA), the national field tests, the Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency, the College Senior Survey, the Student Satisfaction Inventory, the National Survey of Student Engagement, the CIRP Freshman Survey, Your First College Year, and many others. Oversight of the assessment process, including WPA, program review, and assessment catalog, is the responsibility of the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment in conjunction with the Institutional Improvement and Student Learning Committee, composed of students, faculty members, and staff. an ePortfolio that contains pieces of evidence (called artifacts) to document student growth. Whole Person artifacts include items such as supporting documents, evaluations, recommendations, samples of written work (e.g., term papers, research projects, reflection papers, essays), video clips of presentations, test scores, and evidence of creativity, performance, and extra curricular activities. GEN 099 introduces students to ORU learning outcomes, the universitys philosophy of assessment, skills and strengths assessment relating to career planning, and the technology skills needed for using ePortfolio as a part of the WPA process. Students are to be in compliance with university, college, and departmental policies regarding Whole Person requirements. Students should consult their departmental handbooks for requirements regarding general education and the students' majors. The penalty for not submitting electronically or for incorrectly submitting a Whole Person artifact is a zero for that assignment. By submitting an assignment, the student gives permission for the assignment to be assessed electronically. Whole Person Assessment is reported through a set of composite scores from students ePortfolios that reflect students performance on the ORU learning outcomes. The summary score for each learning outcome is an average of the ePortfolio results from assignments designed to measure aspects of each outcome. The WPA compares each students scores with the average of all other students. Each student can see how his or her WPA compares with the average of all other students. Students can see their WPA scores in the same manner in which they access grades on VISION (http://vision.oru.edu).
and meet any additional requirements specified by the major department. Honors students attend Honors Program events, participate in service projects, and maintain an overall GPA of 3.5 or higher to qualify as a graduate from the Honors Program. Students are not admitted to the Honors Program after the second semester of their junior year. Fellows take at least five of six interdisciplinary seminars. Each seminar is taught by two faculty members and combines two subject areas such as English and art, science and theology, and history and mathematics. These interdisciplinary courses replace specific general education courses within the required 24 hours of honors-level general education courses. With approval of the director or associate director of the Honors Program, courses designated as writing intensive (WI) can be counted as honors courses. Additional Information Students in the ORU Honors Program can apply to live in one of the honors dormitory wings, which promote a quality academic atmosphere. Numerous social activities and service learning opportunities are available to students in the Honors Program. All students in the program receive special recognition at graduation, and special designations appear on their transcripts and diplomas.

Whole Person Assessment (WPA)

Assessment of student outcomes is essential to improving learning. ORU assesses students skills, competencies, and/or attitudes as they enter the university, while they are studying at ORU, and after they have left the university. Assessment occurs at the university, college, department, and course levels. ORUs student learning expectations, practices, and assessment objectives align with the universitys mission, vision, and philosophy of education. ORU has adopted the following learning outcomes for all students, which flow directly from the universitys mission: Spiritually Alive Biblical knowledge Sensitivity to the Holy Spirit Evangelistic capability Ethical Behavior Intellectually Alert Critical thinking Information literacy Global and historical perspectives Aesthetic appreciation Intellectual creativity Physically Disciplined Healthy lifestyle Physically disciplined lifestyle Socially Adept Communication skills Interpersonal skills Appreciation of cultural and linguistic differences Responsible citizenship Leadership capacity Professionally Competent Discipline-specific according to the outcomes of each students major program. Whole Person Assessment utilizes the electronic portfolio (ePortfolio) as the primary tool to determine the extent to which students achieve learning objectives defined by the general education curriculum and individual academic departments. In addition to providing evidence of student growth, the WPA process provides feedback for student reflection for self-improvement as well as valuable information for university program improvement. All entering students need to compile and maintain

ENGLISH AND MODERN LANGUAGES DEPARTMENT

Linda Gray, Ed.D., Chair
MISSION STATEMENT: The English and Modern Languages Department supports the University mission by preparing students to be effective thinkers and communicators in the languages of their choice. Objectives include skills in reading, writing, understanding, and speaking the language with proper grammatical structure, as well as knowledge about the history, culture, and religions of the respective language groups. The curriculum focuses on the literary, artistic, linguistic, and cultural heritage for contemporary Christian students and encourages students to apply their commitment to Jesus Christ to the people of the target languages studied. The faculty seeks to train students to pursue these qualities and the ethical incorporation of source material in their own writing and reading as they evaluate the literature and arts of the culture. The department directs its efforts toward developing intellectually alert and socially adept graduates who are spiritually alive to the concerns of the people whose language they are studying.
Overview
Skill in language is a prerequisite in almost any occupation or profession. Familiarity with literature, as well as sound writing and speaking skills, is an essential part of a liberal arts education. Students graduating with a major in a language or in writing have a solid foundation for careers in a variety of fields. Teaching, journalism, government, law, library science, theology, and missions all require individuals with competent language skills.

GENERAL EDUCATION COURSES

All ORU students pursuing a bachelors degree (B.A. or B.S.) at ORU are required to successfully complete COMP 102 and 303. If a students SAT or ACT score in English indicates the student also needs to take COMP 101, the COMP 101 course can count for one of the humanities courses or for an elective. Honors sections of the general education requirements COMP 102 and 303 are available for students earning an ACT English score of 29 or higher or an SAT Verbal score of 640 or higher. Students who have satisfactorily passed the COMP 102 course may substitute an upper division English course for COMP 303 requirement. All students pursuing the bachelor of arts degree (regardless of major) are required to successfully complete two semesters (six hours minimum) of the same modern foreign language, including at least the 203 level. Students with high school credit in a foreign language may take courses in either the same language or in a different language to fulfill the general education language requirement for the B.A. degree. However, if a student opts to take a different foreign language than the one taken in high school, he or she must still complete courses through the 203 level of the different foreign language chosen. Although only six hours (e.g., 203 level and 204 level) of a foreign language are required in the general education portion of a B.A. degree, students may use any hours beyond six general education hours (e.g., the four hours earned in the 101 level) to apply to their electives. Or, if a student takes the 102 and 203 levels (totaling seven hours) to fulfill the general education requirement, he or she can use the one hour beyond the six required for general education to count as an hour of elective credit. A minimum grade of C" must be achieved in a foreign language course before the next level is taken. More information is available from the English and Modern Languages Department. Students majoring or minoring in any of the foreign languages in this department automatically complete their bachelor of arts language requirement through completing their language major or minor. Students who place into a 203-level course and above may consider a second major or minor through the foreign language test-out program, in which students can test-out of lower level courses and receive credit toward a minor in a foreign language. Bachelor of arts or bachelor of science students wishing to count the following classes toward a major/minor need to enroll in the testout classes that have section number 85. Hebrew: 102-85, 203-85, or 204-85 French: 102-85, 203-85, or 204-85 Spanish: 102-85, 203-85, or 204-85 German 102-85, 203-85, or 204-85 International students matriculating in a bachelor of arts degree program are generally required to meet the same entrance and degree requirements in foreign language as American students. However, students who have proof of foreign birth and citizenship, whose native language is not English, and who have studied academically for four years at the high school level in their native language meet the entrance and degree foreign language requirements.
DEGREE PROGRAMS
The English and Modern Languages Department offers majors in English literature, French, Spanish, Modern Foreign Language Education (K-12), English Education, and writing. Students majoring in English literature, French, or Spanish need to declare a minor. Students majoring in modern foreign language education, English education, and writing do not need to declare a minor. However, modern foreign language education students need to complete a cognate of 6-8 hours (two courses) in a second foreign language, and students majoring in writing need to complete a concentration (12 hours) in journalism or English literature. Minors are available in French, Spanish, Hebrew, business language, English literature, preprofessional English, and writing. Freshmen and transfer students may bring in passing CLEP scores for English courses for their majors and minors; however, once students are enrolled at ORU, they cannot take CLEP tests to substitute for courses in their degree program.
Teaching Licensure
The English and Modern Languages Department offers three options for students wanting to teach: (1) completion of the modern language education major and (2) completion of the English education major, or (3) completion of an English literature or Spanish or French major, which can lead to alternative certification. A cooperative liaison is maintained throughout the program by the English and Modern Languages Department and the ORU College of Education. For this reason, it is important that all students interested in teachng identify themselves to both this department and the College of Education as soon as possible. As alternative certification is intended for those seeking career changes, requirements vary widely from state to state, and laws governing these programs can change frequently. Therefore, students interested in pursuing alternative certification need to meet with the ORU College of Educations certification officer to ensure they are well informed prior to choosing this option. Students pursuing alternative certification need to check with the State Department of Education from any state in which they plan to teach in order to ensure they meet specific requirements for that states alternative certification.

Internships may be done on or off campus, and several companies and organizations have standing arrangements with the department to provide internship opportunities for students. Students are free to seek their own internship opportunities, provided they meet department guidelines. Internships are a great opportunity for students to obtain real-world experience, learn outside of the classroom, and apply their knowledge and skills in a professional atmosphere.

HISTORY , HUMANITIES, AND GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT

Michael Hirlinger, Ph.D., Chair
MISSION STATEMENT: History, humanities, and government are vital for enabling students to understand who they are in our modern context. For our students to understand who they are, they have to begin to understand and value our past. Our work is to give them a foundation in humanities, history, government, international relations, and community development work so as to contribute and make an impact on their world. Leaders, change agents, and difference makers--both national and international-are developed through academics and mentoring; we teach students, not just subjects. To accomplish this end, we have to cultivate our own horizons into a collegial teaching ministry, led by the Spirit, founded on JudeoChristian traditions, and presented in a Charismatic/ Christian worldview.

Overview
Civilization is founded on history, for a civilized human being is one who holds values that are irrelevant without perspective. History provides both record and interpretation without which perspective is impossible. Perspective provides insight into why present institutions and society are what they are. Analysis of the whys of the past suggests actions that may be expected to produce positive changes in contemporary institutions and society. Majors and minors offered through this department are excellent preparation for students planning to implement the founding purpose of Oral Roberts Universityto go into every persons world, as well as to practice professions such as law, government, busi-

advanced writing skills, and ability to use a variety of research skills. When combined with an appropriate graduate degree (J.D., Ph.D., M.P.A., etc.), study of government is an excellent preparation for law, business, journalism, Christian ministries and missions, and other fields. Since political decision-making touches all aspects of life, its study opens new perspectives for all Christian citizens and professionals. This degree can be completed in three years by following the degree-in-three plan sheet. More information is available from the History, Humanities, and Government Department.
ness, journalism, teaching, or any field requiring knowledge of an ability to evaluate national and world events. The programs offered through this department can help prepare students for careers such as the following: U.S. or state senator Legal and litigation researcher Campaign manager Historical archeologist or anthropologist Public historian College or university professor News analyst Nonprofit organization officer Humanitarian organization officer City manager Missions or community work Civil servant Press secretary Lawyer
Leadership Studies (B.S.)

The leadership studies major is designed to emphasize inquiry, understanding, skill development, practice, and reflection. Students in this major pursue a rigorous program of study in leadership theory, organizational communication, public and private sector leadership, church leadership, conflict resolution, ethics, and administrative theory.
Prelaw
Although ORU does not have a prelaw major, students interested in law usually choose an appropriate major--almost always history or government--and add the prelaw concentration. However, other majors such as English, sociology, business, or languages are also good choices for prelaw students to select in order to develop conceptual, analytical, reading comprehension, writing, and research skills so essential to law study. A faculty member in the History, Humanities, Government Department serves as the university-wide prelaw advisor for every prelaw student, no matter what major is selected. The prelaw advisor is responsible for planning the prelaw course of study, which is individually tailored to meet each students specific career goals. The prelaw advisor has information about a wide variety of law schools in all parts of the country, and the prelaw advisor meets regularly with each prelaw student to discuss the students academic progress. Students interested in prelaw should contact the department to be assigned to the prelaw advisor.
International Relations (B.A)

The international relations major is designed for students interested in learning about and/or pursuing a career in diplomacy and regionalized or international politics. The major also includes studies in economics, theology, and linguistics and requires a minor. A student majoring in international relations will be adequately prepared for the diversity in the modern global arena through a strong foundation of Judeo-Christian principles as they apply to international studies. This degree can be completed in three years by following the degree-in-three plan sheet. More information is available from the History, Humanities, and Government Department.

The ORU required general education core curriculum is the foundation on which each ORU student may build a charismatic Christian worldview and image of mankind in harmony with the distinctive founding purpose of the university. All ORU students pursuing a bachelors degree at ORU are required to complete at least general education courses in the History, Humanities, and Government Department: HIS 101, GOV 101, HUM 101, and at least three additional courses. Some departments in the university specify which humanities courses their students need to take to fulfill the humanities requirements. Students can also participate in travel studies to earn credit for humanities courses.
International/Community Development (B.A)

International/Community Development is an interdisciplinary degree program in practical missions, preparing graduates to address not only spiritual but also educational, economic, medical, and physical needs. A major in ICD is preparation to work in a helping capacity--through churches, ministries, mission agencies, nonprofit organizations, relief organizations, international schools, government agencies, and a variety of other endeavors in the USA and abroad. The basic skills taught in ICDneeds assessment, problem solving, training, and leadershipare valuable in any field. However, this major does not lead to a teaching license, nor is it a teacher certification area. This degree can be completed in three years by following the degree-in-three plan sheet. More information is available from the History, Humanities, and Government Department.

Various government-oriented clubs and organizations are available for students interested in their fields. The College Republicans, College Democrats, and College Libertarians are three clubs that provide opportunities for discussions, special speakers, and volunteering with political parties the students are interested in. The International Relations is a club that discusses major issues dealing with American foreign policy. Great activities are held such as guest speakers and movies. The Oklahoma Scholar Leadership Enrichment Program (OSLEP) holds academic seminars in Oklahoma City throughout the academic year. The History Honors Society (Phi Alpha Theta) is for history and social studies education majors with honors standing.
DEGREE PROGRAMS
The History, Humanities, and Government Department offers six majors: (1) history, (2) government, (3) international relations, (4) international community development, (5) social studies education, and (6) leadership studies. The department also offers the following minors: history, humanities, government, and international relations.
History (B.A)
Each student majoring in history chooses three of five areas that provide an integrated, focused-area degree, selected to prepare him or her for service in every persons world. For success in todays professions, the ORU graduate requires historical-cultural understanding to best minister healing for the totality of human needs. This department can provide that understanding. This degree can be completed in three years by following the degree-in-three plan sheet. More information is available from the History, Humanities, and Government Department.
Social Studies Education (B.A)

Students seeking licensure to teach at the secondary levels have two options: (1) completion of the social studies education major, which leads to standard certification or (2) completion of a government or history major, which can lead to alternative certification. As alternative certification is intended for those seeking career changes, requirements vary widely from state to state, and laws governing these programs can change frequently. Therefore, students interested in pursuing alternative certification need to meet with the ORU College of Educations certification officer to ensure they are well informed prior to choosing this option. Students interested in a teaching license should work closely with the advisor in the major department. The social studies education major cuts across subject fields, thus allowing the graduate to teach middle and secondary school classes in civics, democracy, economics, government, United States history, world history, Oklahoma history, and sociology.

Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature (O.I.L.) is a mock legislature assembly held each fall and spring in Oklahoma City. Students can receive up to 3 credit hours for participating. Model United Nations (M.U.N.) is a mock United Nations assembly held each spring semester in St. Louis or Chicago. Model United Nations (M.U.N.) is a conference held in the fall semester of each academic year. ORU sends a delegation to the conference to represent a different nation each year, such as Israel 2005, Syria and Denmark 2006, Panama and Kenya 2007, and Congo and the Czech Republic 2008. Although competition is keen, each student majoring in international relations is encouraged to participate and thereby receive credit for GOV 488 while gaining valuable hands-on experience.
Government (B.A)
Government examines power and authority relations in human communities including their foundations, their institutional organization, and how they are used to make public policy. Government is the study of how people govern and are governedand with what resultsin cities, states, and nations. A government major at ORU helps prepare students for careers in several fields by emphasizing breadth of knowledge about national and world affairs, especially analyzing them in the light of JudeoChristian values and principles, analytical reading and

HUMANITIES MINOR
(HUMM)
Humanities at ORU emphasizes a way of seeing and a method of studying human cultural expressions and activities. We believe that the worldview and resultant image of man that are widespread in a given time and place are the dominant forces that shape political theory and institutions, social and economic activities and patterns, and other cultural forms. In turn, these institutions, patterns, forms, and ideas modify the worldview in dynamic ways. The humanities minor can help students grasp the interrelations in a culture among assumptions, ideas, and actions. Such a way of seeing can help parents, lawyers, teachers, pastors, businessmen, doctors, and missionaries understand the multiple forces that are shaping their own lives, the lives of their children, and the people whom they serve. The humanities minor can enrich the life and service of any person.

These degree programs involve all of the significant areas of music study, such as music theory, sight singing and ear training, history and literature of music, music-teaching methods, and all fields of applied music and performance. Technology-related concentrations are also available in both the music arts major and the music composition major.
Performance
Music majors must demonstrate continuous growth in ability to perform on a major instrument. Recitals are regularly presented, affording students opportunities to appear as soloists. As with all ORU seniors, music majors are required to prepare a culminating activity: a recital, project, paper, or an internship. Performance majors present a full recital in the senior year, after successfully presenting a half recital in the junior year. Sacred music majors complete a junior recital in the junior year and an internship during the senior year.

Bachelor of music composition majors make several presentations of original compositions in junior and senior recitals. A bachelor of arts candidate prepares a senior project, paper, or recital. Music education majors may elect to present a music education recital or a senior/paper project, each for two credit hours. A lecture recital option is also available and does not require a junior recital as a prerequisite. Music majors must participate in a performance group approved by the department for every semester they are enrolled as music majors.

Fast-Track Program
The Fast Track Program allows ORU senior students to enroll concurrently in graduate courses and apply those hours toward a masters degree. Students may register for a maximum of six semester hours of graduate courses per semester. These students remain classified as undergraduates by the university and are billed the corresponding undergraduate tuition rate as long as enrollment remains between 12.0 and 18.5 credit hours. If enrollment is below 12.0 or exceeds 18.5 credit hours, they are billed the corresponding graduate per-credit-hour tuition rate. Students may earn up to 12 hours towards a graduate degree through the fast-track program. Graduate level courses taken through the fast-track program may not be used to fulfill undergraduate degree requirements. Students whose vision includes the earning of the Master of Business Administration or the Master of Notfor-Profit Management degree may reduce the time necessary to complete their study by enrolling in the Fast-Track Program. Approved students in undergraduate business programs may take up to 12 hours of graduate work while completing the baccalaureate program. A student who completes three or more hours may successfully finish a masters degree in 9 additional months and thus save a semester. To participate, a student should make application with the College of Business graduate admissions coordinator. General criteria used for acceptance include a 3.0 GPA and a major in a business or business-related discipline; however, students with a GPA below 3.0 may be considered on a case-bycase basis.
AWARDS

The three awards presented annually are as follows: Outstanding Business Student. This award recognizes the senior business student who has academically surpassed his or her contemporaries in the field of business.

DEGREE PROGRAMS
The graduate program of the College of Business offers two degrees at the masters level: the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) and the Master of Not-for-Profit Management (M.NFP.).
Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.)

The Master of Business Administration degree is considered the most flexible business-related degree on the graduate level. In addition to a broad range of basic courses, the M.B.A. program offers special training, research opportunities, and field assignments in individual areas of interest. ORUs M.B.A. program emphasizes management strategy and techniques, long-range planning, organizational behavior, communication, motivation, business ethics, and moral principles. The importance of the human relations aspect of business affairs is recognized and stressed. M.B.A. students must demonstrate proficiency in business ethics, which may be demonstrated by satisfactory completion of an undergraduate or graduate ethics course. The M.B.A. degree at ORU provides both the benefit of broad managerial training and an area of specialization. ORU anticipates that full-time students with an undergraduate degree in business should be able to complete their M.B.A. within three semesters; students without academic training in business should be able to complete the degree in two years.

These awards are limited and are offered on a first-come basis with preference extended to students coming directly from baccalaureate study. Awards are available only to students who have received full or conditional acceptance.
Leveling Courses
Upon admission to the Graduate School of Business, the students transcripts are evaluated to determine any deficiencies from the baccalaureate degree. Participants in the graduate program may be required to take leveling courses in addition to courses required for the degree. Leveling courses are courses at the undergraduate level that help prepare students for courses in the degree. A plan of study is then initiated with deficiencies listed. The degree process is subsequently monitored by the academic advisor.

Students choosing the early childhood education major earn licensure in not only early childhood education but also in a second area, either English language learner (formerly ESL) or special education.
Other Program Areas Leading to Teaching Licensure

The ORU College of Education administers programs that meet State of Oklahoma certification and licensure requirements in a variety of special content subject areas. The specialized studies are offered in cooperation with the College of Arts and Cultural Studies and the College of Science and Engineering and with the professional and pedagogical studies provided by College of Education faculty. All candidates for secondary education specialties and the combined elementary and secondary education specialties are required to complete study in a major field of concentration as part of the degree program. Each licensure area combines courses from general, specialized, and professional education in such a way as to develop a student who is mentally alert, spiritually alive, physically disciplined, and socially adept to achieve the high goals of a competent, dedicated teacher. General Education. The competent teacher is an informed and cultured person who (1) understands todays society, (2) is able to think critically, (3) has a firm grasp of research techniques, and (4) is aware of expanding knowledge in the behavioral, biological, and physical sciences. This person also has an aesthetic appreciation of the fine arts, as well as recreational skills. In keeping with the liberal arts emphasis of the university, the prospective teacher devotes time to appropriate courses in the liberal arts and sciences. Specialized Education. Competent teachers have a thorough understanding of their subject matter (e.g., mathematics, science, art). Each pre-service teacher must complete a major as presented by the respective content area department. Professional Education. Competent teachers not only have a breadth of general education and depth of specialized preparation in specific subject areas, but they also have thorough preparation in the mastery of teaching skills. Programs leading to standard teaching licensure are available in the following areas: Art Education Major (B.A.) With elementary and secondary school (K-12) teaching licensure. (Offered through the Communication, Arts, and Media Department.) Communication Arts Education Major (B.A.) With middle and high school (secondary) teaching licensure. (Offered through the Communication, Arts, and Media Department.)
In keeping with the universitys mission statement, the College of Education conceptual model is rooted in the philosophical position that education is the shaping of the whole person: spirit, mind and body.
UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

Linda Dunham, Ed.D., Chair The Undergraduate Department of the College of Education administers programs that are accredited by the Oklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation and lead to standard licensure based on the review and recommendation of this commission. The Career Services Center also maintains an up-to-date file on certification standards in all states, but the responsibility is assumed by the student wishing to certify in a state other than Oklahoma. State regulation requires that all education courses taken to satisfy licensure requirements be taken at four-year institutions that have approved teacher education programs.
Alternative Certification
The ORU College of Education is intentional about preparing students interested in a teaching career to become competent educators that understand their primary responsibility is to focus on student learning. Students completing the ORU teacher education program and passing the appropriate licensure exams meet all requirements for obtaining an initial license in Oklahoma. Additionally, transferring a teaching license to another state is less complicated when students meet the Oklahoma licensure requirement prior to transitioning to other states. Alternative certification is intended for individuals who have been in other careers since graduating from college and who are seeking a second career in teaching. The typical profile of an individual seeking alternative certification is usually someone who has had several years of work experience in related fields to their bachelors degree. Requirements for alternative certification vary widely from state to state, and as of November 1, 2009, new regulations for alternative certification in Oklahoma now require three years of work experience related to the baccalaureate degree beyond graduation, which prevents new college graduates from obtaining alternative certification. Other requirements
DEGREE PROGRAMS
Elementary Education (B.S.) with Dual Licensure
Students choosing the elementary education major earn licensure in not only elementary education but also in a second area: English language learner (formerly ESL), early childhood education, or special education. This degree can be completed in three years by following the degree-in-three plan sheet. More information is available from the ORU Undergraduate Education Department.

Pass the following courses and earn a C or above in each course: Oral Communications (COM 101) Reading and Writing in Liberal Arts (COMP 102) Foundations/Methods of Education (PED 203) Field-Base Experience (PED 111 or 121) Complete the application form and submit it to the Professional Education Program Admission and Retention chairperson. Meet for an interview with an admissions committee composed of a minimum of three faculty members. Recommendations without reservations must be received from the committee. Express interest in teaching as demonstrated by prior experiences and activities with children. Demonstrate personal traits that suggest potential for working with youth, parents, and other constituencies in education. This is determined by the evaluation from the Field-Based Experience supervisor and the admissions committee. The Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education require all students seeking a teaching certificate in any subject area to have listening and speaking skills at the Novice High level in a language other than English. Therefore, students must also complete one of the following Language Proficiency requirements: Pass the Language Proficiency Skills Test given periodically by the English and Modern Languages Department. Currently, tests are available in Spanish, French, and German. The English and Modern Languages Department schedules the tests, and the teacher candidate must participate on the assigned day. Individual test dates for a candidate are not available. Once the teacher candidate passes this test, the Proficiency (PRFL 001) will appear on the candidates official transcript. Complete the equivalent of ORUs elementary 102 course in a foreign language with a grade of a C or better. Transfer foreign language to ORU. Complete foreign language through the Advanced Placement program prior to matriculation. Pass the foreign language CLEP test prior to matriculation. Teacher candidates who have not met the Professional Education Program admission requirements by the time they have completed 75 hours toward their degree are required to change majors and are not be permitted to enroll in additional courses leading to a degree in education.
76
hibited or restricted by state law, regulations of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, or specific requirements for professional certification or licensure.
for individuals interested in alternative licensure in Oklahoma are as follows: Hold at least a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution Have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 Have a major in a field that corresponds to an area of specialization Have at least 18 semester hours or 270 clock hours of professional education hours at the baccalaureate level and 12 semester hours or 180 clock hours at the post-baccalaureate level Have passed the Oklahoma General Education Test (OGET) and the Oklahoma Subject Area Test (OSAT) Have never been denied entrance into a teacher education program Can document three years of work experience (related to the subject area of specialization) after completion of the baccalaureate degree Have a plan on file with a higher education institution for meeting standard certification requirements within three years Students interested in alternative certification should consult the State Department of Education in the state(s) in which they are interested in teaching and with an advisor in the ORU College of Education. The College of Education recommends that students who are not enrolled in a major leading to licensure but are interested in alternative certification complete the masters degree in Teaching with Public School Licensure or the masters degree in Teaching with Alternative Licensure. The Fast Track program allows students to begin graduate work while they are still undergraduates. The section titled Special Opportunities has more information.
Notification of Admission Decision

The teacher candidate will receive written notification of acceptance or rejection of the application for admission to the Professional Education Program. Applicants denied admission may submit an appeal to the College of Education Faculty Assembly. If rejected by the Faculty Assembly, an appeal can be submitted to the Dean of the College of Education, whose decision is final. Admittance to the Professional Education Program does not of itself assure the teacher candidate of becoming a teacher. In addition to the specified number of hours with the designated GPA, candidates for teaching are viewed in light of their total educational, social, and professional qualifications.
Retention Requirements
Retention in the Professional Education Program (PEP) is required in order to graduate from one of the education programs in the College of Education, College of Arts and Cultural Studies, or College of Science and Engineering. Grade Point Average Teacher candidates admitted to the Professional Education Program must maintain a GPA of at least 2.50 in order to remain in the program. Any student whose GPA falls below 2.50 is placed on probation. If after one semester on probation his or her GPA is still below 2.50, the candidate is dropped from the program and will no longer be eligible to enroll in education courses until the GPA is 2.50 or above. Oral Roberts University retention policy states that no grade below C may apply toward the major, concentration, or professional education courses. A course in which a D is earned may apply only toward general education, minor, cognate, and general elective degree requirements. State Examinations The Oklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation requires passing grades on the Oklahoma General Education Test (OGET), the Oklahoma Subject Area Test (OSAT), and the Oklahoma Professional Teaching Examination (OPTE). Background Check and Felony Disclosure The Oklahoma State Department of Education requires fingerprinting and background checks for all students working in education. In response to legislation, Title 70 O.S., Supp. 1985, and 3-104.1, every applicant is required to answer the following questions: During the preceding ten-year period, have you ever been convicted of a felony? During the preceding ten-year period, have you ever been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude? If the answer to either of the preceding questions is Yes, applicants are required to state the nature of the charge and the court in which they were convicted. Portfolio Teacher education in Oklahoma is competencybased with three integrated knowledge bases: general knowledge, subject matter, and pedagogy (teaching methods). Programs include extensive field experiences and the ongoing development of an electronic professional portfolio in which teacher candidates record, integrate, and reflect on their preservice experi-
PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM

Every student who wishes to major in education or obtain a standard teaching certificate must be admitted to the Professional Education Program (PEP), which is a prerequisite for approval to student teach. Education majors must be admitted before they have completed 75 hours toward their education degrees. Only education majors may enroll in 300- and 400-level PED courses as undergraduates. Teacher certification and degree plans are approved by the Dean, upon recommendation of the Education Faculty Assembly. The Dean and the Director of Teacher Education are the final certifying authorities for the university. Course offerings, degree plans, and requirements are subject to change each year due to continuous modifications taking place at both the national and state levels regarding teacher certification, alternative teacher certification, and accreditation standards for teacher preparation programs. Therefore, individuals are advised to check with a College of Education advisor as to the precise degree plan under which they will be admitted. Catalog offerings, degree plans, and requirements may have changed since printing.
Transfer Students
Transfer students are subject to the same requirements for admission to the Professional Education Program as nontransfer students. Transcripts and course descriptions from the previous school are used by the teacher candidates advisor and the Dean of the College of Education to determine the applicability of previous coursework to the ORU Professional Education Program. A Petition to Transfer form must be completed with required signatures and course description(s) for each course to be transferred to ORU. A copy of the course description from the catalog of the previous college or university and a copy of the transcript must accompany the Petition to Transfer before submitting it for signatures. Transfer of courses to undergraduate or graduate degree programs that prepare teacher candidates for professional certification or licensure may not apply to degree requirements if such transfer of courses is pro-
Standard Requirements
Teacher candidates must meet all of the following requirements before they are admitted to the Professional Education Program: Complete 45 hours of college coursework. Earn a GPA of 2.5 or above. Pass the Oklahoma General Education Test (OGET). Complete the entry level of the ePortfolio and submit for assessment by content area advisor.
ences in the programs. In accordance with the requirements of the Oklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation (OCTP), the College of Education at Oral Roberts University requires all education majors to prepare an electronic portfolio. The OCTP defines a portfolio as follows: A documented profile of an individuals accomplishments, learning, and strengths related to the competencies, standards, and outcomes established by the Commission, State Regents, State Department of Education, and institution [ORU]. These collections of authentic, learner-specific documents are also acknowledgment that the development of a professional educator is an individualized process. These artifacts reflect the teacher candidates progress over a period of time and provide useful information in assessing the success of the program in meeting its goals and maintaining the required competencies. The portfolio process for the teacher preparation program at Oral Roberts University is divided into four levels. The entry level must be completed before the teacher candidate may complete the Professional Education Program Interview, which determines the candidates admission to the teacher preparation program. The intermediate level is completed before making application for the Internship/Student Teaching experience. The capstone level is completed during the student teaching/internship. The professional level is completed after the student teaching/internship. The portfolio process is continually reviewed by the College of Education Faculty Assembly; therefore, portfolio requirements may be revised in the future. The portfolio is an assessment instrument to determine if the teacher candidate is meeting requirements and competencies as set by Oral Roberts University, the College of Education, and the Oklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation. Advisors, College of Education faculty, and/or committees are responsible for reviewing and indicating by rubrics, written comments, the evaluations of each portfolio. The teacher candidate may be asked to further develop his or her portfolio at any of the evaluation points before progressing through the program. Portfolio items are recommended or required in each course in the program. The teacher candidate needs to collect a tool box or working portfolio throughout his or her program. The Professional Portfolio required to complete the teacher preparation program is developed through the phases/levels listed above. After completing the program/degree, the candidate may draw from the professional portfolio in order to develop the interview portfolio he or she wishes to present to a future employer. It is recommended that candidates keep all artifacts collected over the years because future employers may ask for a variety of items to evaluate skills, talent, or experience. The portfolio is a dynamic collection of artifacts that reflect the teacher candidates development and mastery of competencies required by the College of Education and the Oklahoma Commission of Teacher Preparation. Benefits of the portfolio include the development of an individuals personal career action plan; clarification of career objectives and goals; self-reflection, assessment, and improvement; and facilitation in preparing application for employment or promotion. should be undertaken only upon reaching status as a senior-year teacher candidate. The candidate and advisor should discuss the point at which student teaching should be initiated. The teacher in training must be formally admitted to the Professional Education Program before applying for student teaching, and the portfolio (phase II) must be completed prior to application. Applications for student teaching in the spring must be made by October 1 of the previous semester, and application for the fall must be made by February 15 of the previous semester. Applications are available in the College of Education office. The completed application, along with a current transcript indicating a cumulative GPA of at least 2.50, is given to the teacher candidates advisor. The Coordinator of Student Teaching will notify the student of his or her acceptance and the candidates specific placement into student teaching. During the internship semester, all student teachers are required to attend the Professional Education Seminar/Portfolio meetings, which are held in the evenings. The Student Teacher Handbook has more information.

OVERVIEW
The Anna Vaughn College of Nursing (AVCON) offers a generic baccalaureate program for persons initiating entry to the nursing profession and an ADN-BSN professional progression program for those persons already licensed as registered nurses who are seeking a baccalaureate degree in nursing. Overall program goals include preparation of a graduate who demonstrates excellence in nursing practice based on current theory and research; has acquired the basic competencies for ongoing education, formal or informal; and is prepared to successfully write the RN-NCLEX exam for licensure as a registered nurse. Exploratory students who are interested in nursing should seek advisement within the College of Nursing. Students with a nursing degree from the AVCON will find that there are great opportunities such as high job availability and career advancement. The AVCON educational experience thoroughly prepares the student for graduate courses if the student so desires.
General Education
REQUIREMENTS AND POLICIES

The ORU AVCON Student Handbook contains a complete list of the College of Nursing policies.
APPLICATION
To attend the College of Nursing, students must first apply for admission to the university. The application is available from the Admissions Office. Applicants seeking acceptance as a nursing major must meet criteria designated by the College of Nursing. Predictors of academic success include ACT/SAT scores and/or GPAs in ORU or transfer courses, particularly the science courses prerequisite to the major. Students who have not completed a high school biology course with a grade of C or better must enroll in BIO 111 prior to enrolling in anatomy and physiology or microbiology. A nursing-faculty committee reviews academic qualifications of nursing major candidates prior to admission to the first clinical nursing course (NUR 202). Formal admission to the nursing major by the committee is required before enrolling in the upper-division nursing courses (fall, junior year).
Students must have completed the general requirements specified in the nursing degree plan for the freshman and sophomore years prior to admission to upper-division nursing courses. The sequence of general education courses may require modification for transfer students. Changes in sequence must be approved by the faculty advisor and/or dean. It is recommended that HUM 101 be taken before the humanities electives are taken. Except for when enrolled in Health Fitness I and II, students need to take an HPE activity course every semester of full-time enrollment. COMP 303 Critical Reading and Writing must be completed before semester 6. COMP 303 is scheduled to be taken in semester 5, the fall semester of the junior year. All general education courses must be completed before semester 7. Students may enroll in online courses prior to the senior year only with special permission of the Dean of the College of Nursing.
Nursing Courses
Prerequisite courses must be completed prior to enrollment in the upper-division, junior/senior level courses. Immunizations, tuberculosis screening, and CPR training must be current throughout enrollment in clinical nursing courses by August 1 each year prior to an aca-

first clinical nursing course. Findings are filed with the university Office of Risk Management and confidentiality maintained. No student will be denied admission based on findings of the background check. However, a student needs to be aware that he or she may be denied participation in clinical learning experiences at some clinical agencies, precluding the students achievement of course objectives essential to program completion. 3. Admission into the United States in refugee status; 4. A pending or approved application for temporary protected status in the United States; 5. Approved deferred action status; or 6. A pending application for adjustment of status to legal permanent resident status or conditional resident status. The Board has the right to deny a license to an individual with a history of criminal background, disciplinary action on another health-related license or certification, or judicial declaration of mental incompetence [59 O.S. 567.8]. These cases are considered on an individual basis at the time application for licensure is made, with the exception of felony charges. An individual with a felony conviction cannot apply for licensure for at least five years after completion of all sentencing terms, including probation and suspended sentences, unless a presidential or gubernatorial pardon is received [59 O.S. 567.5 & 567.6]. Questions regarding this policy should be directed to the Oklahoma Board of Nursing.

demic year in which a clinical course is taken, e.g., sophomore, junior, and senior years.
Grade Point Averages

Students must maintain a GPA of 2.50 or above in the major, the prerequisites, and the cumulative grade point average and must not have any grade below a C in prerequisite or nursing courses. All prerequisite courses must be completed with a 2.50 GPA, and no grade below a C is acceptable prior to admission to the junior-level nursing courses. A prerequisite course may not be repeated more than once to achieve a grade of C. A student whose grade point average in nursing is less than 2.50 after having taken NUR 200, NUR 230, and NUR 300 will be placed on academic probation for the spring semester during which NUR 202 and NUR 301 are offered. If the grade point average in nursing is still less than 2.50 by the end of that spring semester, the student will be dismissed from the program. If a students cumulative or nursing grade point average falls below 2.50, the student will be placed on academic probation and have one semester to restore the grade point average to the 2.50 minimum. Students may complete a professional nursing course only with permission by the dean. Students who fail two nursing courses may not continue in the program.
DRUG SCREENS
Clinical agencies also require drug screening for students participating in on-site clinical experiences. Therefore, each student must undergo a drug screening prior to adminission to NUR 202 Foundations of Nursing, the first clinical nursing course. A 10-panel drug screen is implemented at least once a year during the sophomore, junior, and senior years. Positive results from a drug screen may result in a students inability to participate in clinical experiences.
EXPENSES
The cost of undergraduate education includes tuition, room and board, and general feesall of which are covered in the Tuition and General Fees section of this catalog. A lab fee of $225 for students in NUR 202, 305, 307, 406, and 430 covers background checks, drug screenings, sim lab supplies, malpractice insurance, and ATI testing fees. Additional expenses include books, supplies, uniforms, immunizations, annual CPR training, travel to and from clinicals, and personal expenses. Other costs specific to the nursing program are delineated in the annual ORU College of Nursing student handbook.
COURSE LOAD
The average course load in the bachelor of science in nursing program is 17 credit hours each semester. Students may reduce the number of credit hours of non-nursing courses required during the regular academic year by taking courses during summer sessions or online. Students must have the college deans permission to enroll in summer online courses prior to the senior year. Students who are athletes take a five-year degree plan that assures NCAA rules are followed. The general policy for incompletes is discussed in the Academic Information section of this catalog. Nursing courses must be completed before students can continue the nursing sequence.

Students Nurses Association. The Oklahoma National Student Nurses Association supports and furthers the nursing students education. Honor Society. Mu Iota chapter of Sigma Theta Tau, an international honor society for nursing students, exists to (1) recognize superior achievement, (2) recognize the development of leadership qualities, (3) foster high professional standards, (4) encourage creative work, and (5) strengthen commitment to the ideals and purposes of the profession.

BACKGROUND CHECKS
The Oklahoma Board of Nursing requires that an applicant for a license to practice as a registered nurse shall submit to a criminal history records search conducted by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation not less than three months prior to application. Some clinical experiences for nursing students are held in childcare facilities licensed by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. Oklahoma statutes state the following: 1.

BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT

Randall Feller, Ph.D., Chair
MISSION STATEMENT: Through its programs, the Behavioral Sciences Department seeks to equip students to compete academically with any comparably educated student from any American college or university. This goal is reached, however, by teaching psychology, social work, and sociology from a distinctly Christian frame of reference. The department's official position is that to know something (e.g., a theory, system of beliefs, etc.) is not necessarily to adopt that knowledge as part of one's own value system. A lack of knowledge preempts one's right to challenge, refute, or otherwise deny any belief system with which one claims to disagree. Therefore, the department is committed to equip students to be knowledgeable as defined by the three professions (psychology, sociology, social work) while providing a strong Christian framework with which to evaluate theories, techniques, and beliefs. This allows the department to graduate students who are academically informed, yet Biblically sound.
Social Work (B.S.W.)

The social work program is a professional degree program accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). This means that it is recognized nationally as meeting the necessary requirements for preparing graduates to enter beginning social work practice in a variety of settings as generalist social workers.
Minors
The Behavioral Sciences Department offers three minors: psychology, sociology, and the new social justice minor.
Social Work Articulation Agreements

Articulation agreements are agreements between two educational entities to ease the transfer process for students transferring from one educational institution to the other. The Behavioral Sciences Department is included in two articulation agreements--one with Tulsa Community College (TCC) and one with the University of Oklahoma Graduate School of Social Work. A student completing the Associate of Science degree in Human Services from Tulsa Community College (TCC) satisfies most general education as well as lower level social work curriculum prerequisites for entering the ORU Social Work Program. It is possible for students to complete the A.S. in Human Services from TCC within a two-year period and complete the B.S.W. degree at ORU within approximately two and a half more years. Graduates from the ORU Social Work Program are eligible for the one year Advanced Standing Social Work Program at the University of Oklahoma Graduate School of Social Work.
Overview
The Behavioral Sciences Department focuses on human behavior ,social structure, and relationships in groups, organizations, and community life. The department offers majors and minors in these areas and has articulation agreements with Tulsa Community College and the University of Oklahoma Graduate School of Social Work for easier transferring to and from those schools and ORU. The social work program at Oral Roberts University is a professional degree program accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).

The dimensions of diversity are understood as the intersectionality of multiple factors including age, class, color, culture, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, immigration status, political ideology, race, religion, sex, and sexual orientation. Social workers appreciate that, as a consequence of difference, a persons life experiences may include oppression, poverty, marginalization, and alienation as well as privilege, power, and acclaim.
5. Advance human rights and social and economic justice.

Each person, regardless of position in society, has basic human rights, such as freedom, safety, privacy, an adequate standard of living, health care, and education. Social workers recognize the global interconnections of oppression and are knowledgeable about theories of justice and strategies to promote human and civil rights. Social work incorporates social justice practices in organizations, institutions, and society to ensure that these basic human rights are distributed equitably and without prejudice.
6. Engage in research-informed practice and practice-informed research.

Social workers use practice experience to inform research, employ evidence-based interventions, evaluate their own practice, and use research findings to improve practice, policy, and social service delivery. Social workers comprehend quantitative and qualitative research and understand scientific and ethical approaches to building knowledge.

Continuation in the program is based on the students maintenance of the 2.0 GPA average in social work courses and ethical conduct necessary for professional social work practice. Courses taken in the core curriculum must have a grade of C or better grade to be counted for social work credit. These courses include all major and cognate courses plus BIO 101 Biology, MAT 232 Statistics, and BUS 201 Principles of Economics I from general education. If the students performance falls below the standards for program continuation, then termination procedures may be considered. However, every effort is made to work with a student in this situation by providing advisement, referral for remedial assistance, and/or referral for medical or mental health treatment if appropriate.
Student Grievance Procedures

In matters of student grievance in the program, the following procedures are followed: 1. If the grievance pertains to a grade the student received in a course, the student should complete the Petition for Grade Change and the Petition for Policy Exception (available from the Behavioral Sciences Department or the registrar) stating reasons for the requested change. These two forms should be signed by the individual faculty member, social work program director, and chair of the Behavioral Sciences Department. In the event the faculty member does not change the grade, the student may present the case to the program director and, if necessary, to the Behavioral Sciences chair and the dean of the College of Science and Engineering. The deans ruling is final. 2. In situations where there is conflict with a faculty member and/or advisor, the student may present the complaint to the program director for a hearing or mediation. The program director may change the advisor assigned to the student if the change is warranted. If the student has a complaint against the program director, a hearing may be requested with the department chair.

Termination Policy
In the event a student needs to be terminated from the social work professional program, the following steps are taken: 1. The program faculty meet together to discuss the student in question. 2. The student is brought before the faculty or faculty designee (appointed by the director) to discuss concerns and devise a plan for remediation. 3. Progress is carefully monitored. 4. Only if the remediation efforts prove unsuccessful is the student considered for termination. A majority of the faculty must agree that the student should be terminated. 5. The director informs the student of the termination and appoints a faculty member in the program to provide advisement and referral for seeking an alternative academic major. 6. The student may appeal the decision to terminate to the chair of the Behavioral Sciences Department and to the Dean of the College of Science and Engineering, if desired. Confidential written documentation is kept on all proceedings of termination. Conditions that may initiate termination proceedings include such behaviors as unethical conduct, unsatisfactory academic performance, inability to work with clients, colleagues, supervisors, and general failure to adhere to professional expectations and standards of the social work profession. The termination process is initiated only after a reasonable effort has been made to assist the student with gaining access to relevant resources (e.g., medical care, counseling) to help resolve personal issues. In event that a student is terminated from the social work program, assistance is provided to seek another academic major so as to graduate in a timely manner.

SOCIOLOGY MINOR
(SOCM)
A minor in sociology should assist any student, regardless of the major program, to a better understanding of social interaction within group settings. Because most facets of American society involve frequent interaction of persons within groups, the sociology minor would seem a logical choice to complement any major program offered by Oral Roberts University. Many graduate programs in sociology do not specify an undergraduate major as a requirement for admission; therefore, a minor in sociology with a proper selection of courses should prepare the aspiring professional sociologist for admission to most graduate programs.

PREPROFESSIONAL HEALTH PROGRAMS

Prehealth professional students, including premedicine, predentistry, and others, should consider their God-given gifts and abilities in selecting one of several recognized majors, such as biology, chemistry, biomedical engineering, psychology, or health and exercise science as a prehealth professional route. Prehealth professional programs provide a balanced liberal arts education with strengths in the sciences and the humanities. Any major can be adapted to a prehealth professional program by including the following courses: (1) MAT 114 or 201, (2) BIO 111 and 112 lecture and lab, (3) CHE 111 and 112 lecture and lab, (4) CHE 211 and 212 lecture and lab, and (5) PHY 101 and 102 lecture and lab or PHY 111 and 112 lecture and lab. These courses are required by most health professional schools, including medical, dental, and pharmacy schools, and assist in preparing students to take the MCAT, DAT, or PCAT exams. Admission to medical, dental, pharmacy, and other health professional schools in the United States is very selective. Students with excellent grades, high admission test scores, knowledge of their health profession, and health care experience are highly favored for admission. Proper advisement is necessary to adequately prepare students for admission to professional schools, so ORU offers advisement to prepare students for various medical fields. A prehealth professional advisor can provide a comprehensive advisement program that includes academic advisement, health career literature, guest speakers, information on admissions tests, medical and dental school application procedures, and a library of special reference publications. Students seeking to attend these professional schools need to work with faculty members to choose courses appropriate for their plans. All prehealth professional programs at ORU start with a general set of courses based on the typical admission requirements of various health professional schools. However, since some of these schools have unique preparatory requirements, students are advised to obtain a catalog from each school to which they plan to apply in order to determine the exact requirements. This will assist students and their prehealth professional advisors to tailor the prehealth professional program directly to address specific applications.
DEGREE PROGRAMS
The Biology and Chemistry Department offers courses of study leading to the bachelor of science degree with majors in biology, chemistry, biomedical chemistry, and science education (middle and high school). The biology, biomedical chemistry, and chemistry programs are designed to meet the needs of students who desire to (1) pursue graduate work, (2) train for work in industry and government, or (3) prepare for professional training in the health sciences. Students may choose to receive a bachelor of arts degree (instead of a bachelor of science) by meeting foreign language requirements in addition to the requirements listed for the bachelor of science degree.

The department challenges students to integrate their Christian faith with their science by encouraging them (1) to appreciate the glory and majesty of Christ visible throughout creation; (2) to engage in their roles as stewards of God's creation; (3) to accurately discern between science, religion, and pseudoscience; (4) to address ethical dilemmas in science-based problems; and (5) to exhibit Christ-like compassion, using their scientific knowledge to help others suffering from disease, inadequate health care, limited food availability, and contaminated water supplies.
Chemistry (B.S.)
The chemistry program is designed to provide (1) a working knowledge of chemical concepts; (2) a rigorous, medically oriented program; (3) state-of-the-art training for graduate school or immediate employment; (4) opportunity to broaden a students skill by learning the concepts of chemistry; and (5) opportunities to work in chemical companies and industrial research.
Biomedical Chemistry (B.S.)

The biomedical chemistry offers optional concentrations in premedicine and research. Students selecting to major in biomedical chemistry must minor in biology. The biomedical chemistry program with a research concentration is specifically designed to prepare students to pursue professional training in M.D.-Ph.D. programs.
Science Education (B.S.)

Students seeking licensure to teach at the secondary levels have two options: (1) completion of the science education major, which leads to standard certification or (2) completion of any other major in the Biology and Chemistry Department or Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, and Mathematics Department, which can lead to alternative certification. As alternative certification is intended for those seeking career changes, requirements vary widely from state to state, and laws governing these programs can change frequently. Therefore, students interested in pursuing alternative certification need to meet with the ORU College of Educations certification officer to ensure they are well informed prior to choosing this option. Students pursuing alternative certification need to check with the State Department of Education from any state in which
Premedicine
Both the biology major and the biomedical chemistry major offer a premedicine concentration. However, students interested in the premedical program at ORU can also major in chemistry, psychology, or any field of their choosing. Electives should be chosen in consultation with the advisor.
OVERVIEW
The vision of the Biology and Chemistry Department is to provide a curriculum and educational environment that encourages professional competence, coupled with Christian faith and practice, to help enable students to hear God's voice and to take His healing power into the world. Students must learn to understand and live in harmony with creation in order to maintain a sustainable quality of life acceptable now and in the future. Concerns about the continued misuse of the environment are being addressed more strongly than ever, and students must learn to understand, interact with, and respond positively to those concerns.
Predentistry
Students interested in preparing for dental school should major in biology, biomedical chemistry, chemistry, psychology, health exercise science, or another major with electives chosen to fulfill the unique requirements of the desired schools of dentistry. A two-year recommended program is designed to meet the common prerequisites for most professional schools in dental hygiene. Advice is available from the department.

Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Once these criteria have been met, the applicant will then be accepted upon satisfactory evaluations of the applicants file and the interview process.
Prepharmacy
The minimum prerequisites for admission to a pharmacy college can usually be completed in three years. However, most of the successful prepharmacy applicants in recent years have had four years or more of preparatory training. While the prepharmacy program follows a similar schedule to both premedicine and predentistry (such as majoring in chemistry or biochemistry), there are significant differences. Often various schools of pharmacy have different prerequisite course requirements. It is particularly important for students following the prepharmacy program to work closely with prehealth professional advisors to adjust their programs.
The Biology and Chemistry Department has arranged opportunities for student internships with the Oklahoma Aquarium in Tulsa. The department also works with students in developing or applying for internships that are tailored to their interests. Students desiring a hands-on environmental learning experience have the opportunity to attend Au Sable Institute in northern Michigan to complete some course requirements that are normally met at ORU. Courses are designed to prepare students for work or further study in environmental endeavors. Any ORU student who meets the course prerequisites may take these courses, but the opportunity is of particular value to biology majors with an environmental concentration. The Michigan campus is surrounded by many lakes, rivers, and other natural areas. Satellite campuses are located in Washington state, Florida, and India. Scholarships are available.
Physical Therapy
ORU has two articulation agreements in physical therapy. The first agreement is with University of Oklahoma-Tulsa. The agreement allows for students with three years of study at ORU to apply for admission to the Ph.D. program in physical therapy. Further information is available in the ORU Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Department. The second agreement is with Southwest Baptist University (SBU). A student who completes a baccalaureate degree in any major at ORU and the requirements for admission to the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program at Southwest Baptist University as listed here will automatically receive preference and be eligible for the admission process. Have a minimum 2.75 overall GPA. Complete the graduate record exam. Complete and return physical therapy packet by June 15th of year prior to enrollment. Document 40 hours experience/observation in physical therapy. Meet admissions eligibility requirements in SBU catalog (if international student). Demonstrate computer literacy. Complete the following prerequisite courses with a minimum of a "C" and 3.0 prerequisite GPA.

Preveterinary
The minimum prerequisites for admission to a college of veterinary medicine can usually be completed in three years. However, most of the successful preveterinary applicants in recent years have had four years or more of preparatory training. Therefore, the Biology and Chemistry Department recommends preveterinary students complete a four-year degree program with a major in biology or biomedical chemistry. It is particularly important for students following the preveterinary program to work closely with ORU faculty serving as prehealth professional advisors to adjust their programs.

Tri-Beta Honor Society assists students interested in biological topics an opportunity to focus on scientific research. There are two national conventions each year and the publication of BIOS, a scholarly journal that includes student research. The Mu Kappa chapter at ORU participates in monthly meetings and community service projects. The ORU student affiliate chapter of the American Chemical Society (ACS) meets regularly to focus scholarly attention on relevant issues in chemistry. Student affiliates have the opportunity to present research during local, statewide, regional, or national meetings of ACS. Alpha Epsilon Delta National Society provides additional opportunities for professional development for all pre-health profession majors with scholarly achievement. These opportunities increase student awareness of issues important to the process of application and acceptance into advanced health professional programs. Opportunities include attendance in medical seminars, cadaver dissection, job shadowing, mission experiences, and volunteer opportunities at the Good Samaritan Health Clinic. The Minority Association of Premedical Students (MAPS) is a new, nationally-recognized club for minorities interested in pursuing a career in medicine or other health-related professions. Iota Sigma Pi is a national organization to support women in chemistry.
Other Health Professions

The Biology and Chemistry Department offers assistance in degree planning for students planning to enter schools of occupational therapy, physical therapy, optometry, medical technology, or physician assistant. Most of these programs now require students to have an undergraduate degree before entering the program. However, some well-qualified students who have taken all the prerequisites may enter some programs after the third year of undergraduate study. Most schools require a general education program that includes courses in biology, chemistry, human anatomy, and human physiology. Unlike medical schools, requirements and prerequisites for allied health careers vary among programs and schools. Anyone planning a career in one of these fields should consult with a prehealth professional advisor in the Biology and Chemistry Department to develop a specific undergraduate curriculum to successfully meet their goals.

MATHEMATICS EDUCATION MAJOR (MATE) WITH

Bachelor of Science Students seeking licensure to teach at the secondary levels have two options: (1)completion of the mathematics education major, which leads to standard certification or (2) completion of any other major in the Computer Science/Mathematics Department, which can lead to alternative certification. One class at the graduate level is required for alternative certification in the state of Oklahoma; however, it is not required for graduation. Students seeking alternative certification need to check with the State Department of Education of any state in which they plan to teach in order to ensure they meet specific requirements for that states alternative certification. Students interested in a teaching license should work closely with the advisor in the major department. This major is designed for students wanting to teach mathematics at the middle or high school levels and meets the State of Oklahoma specific requirements for licensure. This major is offered in cooperation with the ORU College of Education; therefore, students interested in this major should work with both the advisor in this department and with the College of Education. Students may earn licensure in a second subject/content area. The Oklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation requires the OSAT/OPTE test(s) be passed in order to obtain a license in an additional subject/content area. Students interested in completing coursework toward additional licensing should consult the subject area advisor.

participate in a variety of physical activities; (3) to aid the student in acquiring skills in lifetime sports and recreational activities; (4) to provide a climate in which the student may achieve habits of initiative, self-responsibility, and loyalty, and learn to live socially and cooperatively with others; (5) to acquaint the student with a continuing program of lifetime health and fitness; and (6) to provide a curriculum through which a student may qualify for certification to teach or to work in numerous fields of health, physical education, and recreation.
Health and Physical Education (B.S.)

Students seeking licensure to teach at the K-12 levels have two options: (1) completion of the health and physical education major, which leads to standard certification or (2) completion of any other major in the HPE Department, which can lead to alternative certification. One class at the graduate level is required for alternative certification in the state of Oklahoma; however, it is not required for graduation. Students seeking alternative certification need to check with the State Department of Education from any state in which they plan to teach in order to ensure they meet specific requirements for that states alternative certification. Students interested in a teaching license should work closely with the advisor in the major department. This degree is designed for students wanting to teach physical education in private or public schools. The program meets the requirements for the State of Oklahomas teaching license for elementary through high school grades in this field.

ORU was founded on a concept of education for the whole person, equally emphasizing the development of the mind, spirit, and body. For that reason, each ORU student is required to pass a physical education activity course each semester and to pursue an individual fitness program. Each physical education activity course may be taken only twice for credit toward fulfilling the physical education requirement for graduation. The ORU program focuses on the concept of aerobics, a physical-fitness program designed by Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper, a former Air Force physician and innovator of the exercise program used by the astronauts. It is a program designed to increase the capacity of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels through a calculated series of exercises that emphasizes walking, running, swimming, and cycling. These exercises require one to breathe harder and faster. The greater the oxygen intake, the harder the heart and lungs must work. The more these organs work, the stronger they become. This reduces the chances of heart disease and related physical ailments later in life.
Occupational Therapy Articulation Agreement

ORU has an articulation agreement with the University of Oklahoma-Tulsa (OU-Tulsa) for earning a Master of Science degree in occupational therapy. This program allows area students to complete a bachelor's and masters degree in occupational therapy in Tulsa. The first 90 hours, which includes general education and science classes, are taken at ORU and the remainder of the degrees at OU-Tulsa.

DEGREE PROGRAMS
Biblical Literature
The greatest asset for effective integration of truth is a solid knowledge of the Bible. Therefore, courses in Biblical literature are designed to give students an understanding and appreciation of the Word of God and its application. The Biblical literature focus exposes students to a broad spectrum of hermeneutical and exegetical perspectives, tools, and methods so that they may interpret the Bible responsibly and perceptively within a theological-historical framework. Courses in Hebrew and Greek are intended to equip students in language skills needed for studies in the Old and New Testaments, as well as to give them a working knowledge of the Biblical languages. Students who choose the Biblical literature area choose one of three majors. All three majors concentrate on the content of the Bible. English Bible majors study the entire Bible; the Old Testament major emphasizes the content of the Old Testament with the acquisition of the Hebrew language; and the New Testament major emphasizes the content of the New Testament with the acquisition of the Greek language.

Theological and Historical Studies (B.A.)

Christian maturity involves the ability to learn from the past, to think deeply, and to formulate an integrated and balanced Christian theology of life with clearly defined goals, purposes, and values. This area emphasizes the essentials of Christian belief faithfully preserved by the ancient Church in the universally accepted creeds and clearly articulated by the great Christian thinkers of the past and present. Therefore, courses in history, theology, and philosophy seek to give students a comprehension of the Christian past and an understanding of the theological and philosophical dimensions of the Christian faith and its contemporary expressions. Always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is within you . . . (I Peter 3:15). The 21st century will be filled with a multitude of worldview and ideas about the nature of reality and truth.

Statement of Purpose
ORU Graduate School of Theology and Ministry (Seminary) seeks to prepare students for competent and Spirit-led Christian ministry. The Seminary is called to develop men and women who know the Bible, who have a deep compassion for people, and who, through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, can revitalize the church, evangelize the world, and heal the nations. Professional, theological education at this Seminary integrates Biblical and theological training with practical skills. This integration takes place in a charismatic/Pentecostal ethos where the gifts of the Spirit are manifested and spiritual formation is nurtured.

The Seminary seeks to develop leaders who can communicate the message of the Gospel to those in need of a Savior and Gods healing power to the worlds suffering. As a multi-denominational Seminary, the ORU Graduate School of Theology and Ministry seeks to prepare students for Christian ministry within a broad spectrum of traditions, churches, and cultures. Although intentionally evangelical, it is important to embrace a diversity of theological understandings. This enables students to effectively relate to their unique sphere of influence. ORU Graduate School of Theology and Ministrys philosophy seeks to introduce students to the ongoing ecumenical dialogue concerning the nature of the Church and to broaden students awareness of the larger Body of Christ. ORU Graduate School of Theology and Ministry exists to prepare men and women for ministry who know the Bible, who have a deep compassion for people, and who, through personal charismatic experiences, can interpret Biblical truth to the Church and society in light of the present-day movement of the Holy Spirit. In other words, it is important to teach, to inform, and to place knowledge as a tool for ministry at the disposal of the Holy Spirit for relevant application. Importantly, the ORU Graduate School of Theology and Ministry trains Christian leaders to carry Gods healing power and seed-faith lifestyle to the worlds suffering and lost, whether in Americas darkened ghettoes and affluent suburbs or in developing countries. The goal of the seminary for its graduates is to carry this vital message of redemption, holiness, and healing to those places where Gods light is dim, where His voice is heard small, where His healing power is not known. Why a Graduate School of Theology and Ministry at Oral Roberts University? The ORU Graduate School of Theology and Ministry at Oral Roberts University is firmly grounded in a concept of abundant life and a charismatic concern for the healing of the totality of human need. The comprehensive, integrated curriculum is designed to balance Bible knowledge and practical, professional ministry skills that will lead to more effective evangelism and healing for body, mind, and spirit. Students are challenged to seek wholeness in their personal lives so they can help those whom they contact to develop wholeness as a way of life. The following statement by Chancellor Oral Roberts answers Why a School of Theology and Missions at Oral Roberts University? and explains his vision for those who graduate from the master of arts, the master of divinity, and the doctor of ministry programs. Two things are essential to a vibrant, fruitful ministry of the Gospel. One, Christian leaders must know the Bible; they must really know the life of Jesus and what the Bible says. And second, Christian leaders must have a deep compassion for people. As I travel this great country of ours and receive mail from around the world, I feel these voids in Christian leadership. I see a deep hunger in people to know God better. People are searching for someone to explain to them how to live abundantly. They are also aching for love. They long for someone to touch them, to care, to share their deep concerns, and to help them find answers to their needs. These are the very reasons we have a Graduate School of Theology and Missions at ORU to train students to know the Bible and to care for people. ORU has a baccalaureate theology program, two masters programs, and a doctoral program. The master of arts program offers specializations in several different areas of ministry. The academic specializations immerse students in the Word and its teachings and enable students to train others. The professional specializations equip students for ministry in Christian counseling, Christian education, practical theology or missions. The master of divinity program is the basic professional program for ministry and is especially designed for persons who plan to become pastors, evangelists, youth workers, chaplains, missionaries, or enter other areas of Christian leadership. These graduate students receive a solid grounding in the Bible. They also receive practical and professional training in how to be effective church leaders, how to administer church programs, how to preach, how to counsel, and how to lead evangelism programs. Throughout their three years of study, master of divinity students are involved in special projects that place them in the church and community. They become involved with people in need from various backgrounds: the elderly, juvenile delinquents, the poor, the disabled, the imprisoned, and the ghetto children. They give their time and talents; they go into areas where people hurt and touch them with their love. The doctor of ministry program enables persons already in full-time ministry to deepen their knowledge of the Word and update their skills while learning from both professors and peers. These ministerial leaders are involved daily in sharing the Word and meeting the needs of others. As the students of these graduate programs open their lives to God and give to other people, I believe a miracle will take place. I believe the Holy Spirit will become as real to them as the air they breathe. They will find themselves instruments in Gods hands. A strong, invisible triangle will be formed between God, the ORU student, and the person in needa relationship that can last for all eternity. Let me tell you what I expect from our graduate theology students. I expect our students to be open to the working of the Holy Spirit in their lives and in the lives of others. Through the Holy Spirit, they will find new strength and authority to minister. I expect excellence from our students. We have a motto at ORU that says excellence is a way of life. We believe in giving God our best and then expecting His best for our lives. Our students have the finest professors and facilities, and we expect our students to devote their finest efforts to their studies. I expect their witness to extend to all aspects of life. When Jesus healed people, He often used these words: Be made whole. To Christ, wholeness was more than spiritual cleansing. Wholeness meant harmony of spirit, mind, and body. It meant a unity in the inner man and vibrant living in all areas of life. At ORU we attempt to integrate the entire person. We call it the whole-man concept. This concept formed the basis for the founding of ORU, and our purpose is to train men and women whose lives reflect this. Our theology students work at physical fitness and mental growth in the same way they work to develop their spiritual potential. I expect our students to go into every facet of life and to share Christ wherever His light is dim, wherever His voice is heard small. I expect them to go to all the nations and to minister to people of all races. Full-time graduate and professional students attend chapel together, study together in the same library, and share some classes. This common exposure helps them become better acquainted with a variety of professional perspectives and gives them a new appreciation for the problems people face in our world. I expect our theology students to provide leadership and love to all who may be weak and unloved.

The ORU School of Theology and Missions opened in 1975, enriched by ORUs fine baccalaureate theological program, which is one of the largest and strongest departments on campus. The Seminary is housed in the Marajen Chinigo Graduate Center, which is a 448,000-square-foot addition to the John D. Messick Learning Resources Center. I believe it is the finest building of its kind. We live in a state of expectancy at ORU. We believe in miracles. We work diligently. We are proud to be a free enterprise people. We have faith in God and a spirit of unity. ORU is a familya family of students, faculty, staff members, and partners around the world. We are unashamedly Christian. We believe in the mighty power of the Holy Spirit. We live to minister. Why a graduate School of Theology and Missions? Because God wants people to be whole, and we want what God wantshealing for the totality of human need. --Oral Roberts
SPIRITUAL FORMATION
In the distinctive charismatic ethos of the ORU Graduate School of Theology and Ministry, spiritual formation is of primary importance. Spiritual formation occurs both intentionally and informally. The Director of Assessment and the Assessment Committee provide guidance in developing a program to facilitate spiritual formation. A primary force for intentional spiritual formation is the strong advisement program that assigns students to individual faculty members for their educational journeys. Students meet individually with their advisors throughout the academic year. Faculty members are available for advisement and prayer. Students are involved in Koinonia groups during their first semester of enrollment. These small groups of students meet weekly with professors for sharing and prayer. The sessions focus on relationship with God, a personal call to ministry, and other related components of spiritual formation. University chapels, which are conducted twice weekly, particularly provide the charismatic emphasis and spiritual dynamic that is at the heart of Oral Roberts University. Special meetings are conducted during the semester to address the particular needs of seminarians. Other opportunities for spiritual formation are included in the field education program, missions trips, weekly communion services, and student-led ministry opportunities.
DEGREE PROGRAMS
The Graduate School of Theology and Ministry offers the following graduate-level degree programs:
Master of Divinity (M.Div.)

The master of divinity degree is the basic professional degree for ordained ministry. It prepares people to be effective as pastors, evangelists, chaplains, missionaries, and ministers.
Master of Arts (M.A.)

The master of arts degree offers both academic and professional programs. Biblical Literature (Academic) Advanced Languages concentration Judaic-Christian Studies concentration Theological and Historical Studies (Academic) Christian Counseling (Professional) Marital and Family Therapy concentration Missions (Professional)

or from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) of at least 900. Scores must be from within the past 5 years. Score from the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) of at least 7.0 or from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). TOEFL scores must be at least 550 (paper-based), 213 (computer-based), or 78-80 (Internet-based). (For nonnative English speakers only) Proof of acceptable grade point average (3.0 for M.A. academic programs; 2.5 for M.Div. and M.A. professional programs) Two academic recommendations A ministerial recommendation A personal sketch The Admissions Committee may require applicants to submit additional information for evaluation. Applicants to the M.Div. degree may need to submit a personal interview, psychological test results, a spouse's endorsement, and/or a statement of status at another educational institution. A professional recommendation may be requested if the student has been out of school more than five years. The Admissions Committee may also require applicants to take prerequisite/leveling courses. (Prerequisite/leveling courses are courses at the undergraduate level that help prepare students for courses in the graduate degrees.) Applicants to the master of arts professional degree programs (Christian counseling, missions, practical theology) may also need to provide a personal interview, psychological test results, a spouse's endorsement, or a statement of status at another educational institution. Students entering the Seminary on probation must achieve removal from probation status within one academic year of matriculation. If a student is placed on probation in the course of the degree, one academic year is allowed to restore the GPA to the appropriate level. Normally, 12 semester hours of coursework earned in one semester with the appropriate grade point average is sufficient to remove one from probation. Students do not receive financial aid in the form of institutional funds during any semester on probation. Students who fail to achieve a sufficient grade point average while they are on probation within the specified time are suspended from the Graduate School of Theology and Ministry.
Practical Theology (Professional) Teaching Ministries Concentration These programs prepare students for specialized ministries within the local church, educational institutions, and parachurch or community organizations. The master of arts degree is well suited as foundational study for Ph.D./Ed.D. degree programs.
Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.)

The doctor of ministry degree provides advanced professional training for practical ministry. The program is designed for professionals with an earned master of divinity degree in full-time ministry. It develops ministerial skills and enables ministers to grow in understanding and interpretation of the Churchs ministry.
COURSE INFORMATION
Numbering and Sequence
Courses offered in all areas of the Seminary curriculum are appropriate for graduate level students in the Graduate School of Theology and Ministry. In general, 500- and 600-level courses are designed for the masters degrees, and 700-level courses are for the doctoral degree. The 500-level courses are frequently considered necessary before students can enroll in advanced-level courses represented by the 600 and 700 numbers. Students may also be required to take prerequisite/leveling courses in addition to courses required for the graduate degree. Prerequisite/leveling courses need to be taken during the students first semester as a graduate student, and the hours earned from leveling courses are in addition to the hours required for the graduate degree.
Joint Degree Program

A joint degree program allows students to gain an area of expertise for future ministry. Students may enroll in two masters degrees simultaneously. With proper planning and advisement, they may fulfill the requirements for both degrees with significantly less time than it would take otherwise. The section titled Dual Degrees in the Academic Information section of this catalog has more information.
Modular Option
In todays highly mobile and fast-paced society, it can be difficult to earn a residence degree at the graduate level. This is especially true for potential students who are already in full or part-time employment and who live far from campus. Thus, fully accredited modular masters of divinity (M. Div.) and master of practical theology (MPT) programs are especially designed for individuals who desire to continue their education but cannot relocate to Tulsa. The M.Div. modular degree is 88.5 credit hours, and the MPT degree is 58 credit hours. Courses for both degrees are offered through on-campus, week long modules and via the Internet. Intensive one-week modules (on-campus courses) offered throughout the year enable students to integrate classes into their personal calendars. These modular seesions are held Monday-Friday from 8:30 to 5:30 p.m. daily, usually the second or third week of the month. Students choose which modules they will be able to attend. The on-campus courses are offered on a two-year rotation. Students who are not able to take a particular course in a particular month will have an opportunity to take that course again within two years. Students in the modular program set their own pace but are encouraged to enroll in as many courses (both on-campus and distance learning) as they can realistically incorporate into their schedules each semester.
Changing Programs
Students are admitted to the Seminary by acceptance into a particular degree program and concentration and must pursue studies in that program. Students may change programs only if formally accepted into another program. Acceptance into one program does not guarantee admission into another. When the program change becomes effective, the student is subject to the requirements of the current catalog at the time of matriculation into the new program.
Course Load
The full-time course load for masters-level students in the Graduate School of Theology and Ministry is 9 hours. The full-time load for doctoral students in the Graduate School of Theology and Ministry is 6 hours per semester while enrolled in the coursework phase of the program. One hour per semester is considered fulltime when enrolled in the project phase.
Readmission Requirements
Students who have not maintained continuous enrollment and who desire to continue their studies must apply for readmission through the Seminary Admissions Office. Students readmitted to the Seminary are subject to the requirements of the current catalog at the time of readmission. The Admissions Committee may request additional information. If students have attended other institutions, they must supply official transcripts.
Courses by Special Arrangement

With the permission of the faculty advisor, the associate dean, and the instructor of a particular course listed in the catalog, students in special circumstances may complete that course by special arrangement. The objectives of the course, as defined in the current syllabus on file in the office of the dean, must be met. Special assignments, tests, and conferences may be required to satisfy the instructor and coordinator of the area concerned that the objectives have been achieved. A course of study that involves extensive work while the student is absent from the campus may be pursued only upon the approval of a petition presented to the associate dean.
ADMISSION INFORMATION
Admission requirements for the masters degree programs vary to some extent; however, applicants to any of the masters programs need to submit the following items to the Admissions Committee for review and consideration: Proof of a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university or college recognized by the Association of Biblical Higher Education. Official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate studies attended Score from Miller Analogies Test (MAT) of at least 396
ENROLLMENT AND RETENTION

Students enrolled in the Graduate School of Theology and Ministry are expected to maintain an appropriate grade point average for the program in which they are enrolled. Students in the master of divinity and the professional master of arts programs are to maintain 2.5 grade point averages. Students in the academic master of arts program are to maintain 3.0 GPAs. Students failing to achieve the minimum grade point average in their programs during any semester are automatically placed on probation. In the doctoral program no course grade less than a B is accepted. Two C course grades result in suspension from the doctoral program.
Credit by Examination, Transfer of Credit, and Advanced Standing

Students entering the Seminary with advanced knowledge in a particular area of the curriculum may receive credit for courses to which the advanced knowledge relates by passing a comprehensive examination with a score of 80% or above. Such examinations must be taken during the first semester of residency. The Graduate School of Theology and Ministry follows the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) guidelines regarding credit transfer and advanced standing.

ATS requires that the transfer courses be graduate level courses from an institution accredited by ATS or a recognized accrediting body. ATS allows seminaries and graduate schools to admit students with advanced standing with credit by reducing the number of hours required for the degree. The courses selected for advanced standing must be comparable to the Graduate School of Theology and Ministry graduate courses, and the amount of credit is limited. Students with ORU undergraduate majors in Old or New Testament or in Theological and Historical Studies and who are eligible to apply for the M.A. academic track could receive up to 15 hours of advanced standing for undergraduate courses with a B or better. fitness/activities courses, and students in the master of divinity program need to take a total of four courses. Graduate students are required to earn a grade of C or better in all HPE courses.

Holy Spirit Distinctive Courses

During their first semesters of residency, students enrolled in a masters-level degree program are required to take the graduate courses GTHE 507 The Holy Spirit in the Now or GTHE 510 Holy Spirit Empowerment in Life and Ministry. GTHE 507 and GTHE 510 deal with part of the basic theological beliefs and lifestyle unique to Oral Roberts University. Both of these courses include practical, contemporary demonstrations of Biblical concepts from the life of Jesus and the Book of Acts. The faculty of the ORU Graduate School of Theology and Ministry firmly believes that the power and authority entrusted to the Early Church, as described in the Book of Acts, is still available to believers today. The miraculous power of Christ is to operate in the now. The theological faculty encourages all students to enroll in at least one additional course dealing with this vital area of ministry, such as GTHE 663 Charismatic Theology, GTHE 694 The Pentecostal/Charismatic Movements in Historical Perspective, GTHE 696 Divine Healing: A Theological and Historical Study, and GTHE 692 Pneumatology.
incomplete work and have the professor submit a grade change to the dean. If this is not done in the subsequent semester, the incomplete is changed to an F. Other marks used in grade reporting are WP (withdraw/passing), and WF (withdraw/failing), and WM (withdraw/military). When a course is dropped after two weeks, a WP is recorded if the student is passing at the time of the drop. If the student is not passing, a WF is recorded. Any student who withdraws from a class after the eighth week receives a WF. The WF is counted as an F in determining the grade point average.
Assessment
Professional and personal assessment is an integral part of the total educational program of the ORU Graduate School of Theology and Ministry. Assessment draws together the varied influences, experiences, and learning of the students in situations that are intentionally evaluative and advisory. It also helps students to become familiar with degree program goals and outcomes and to understand how they contribute to the achievement of the purpose statement for the Seminary. The basic components for assessment are professional skills, specialized knowledge, and personal/spiritual development. The basic purpose is to determine student competencies in relationship to degree program goals. Identified program goals contribute to the overall University mission to prepare professionally competent servant-leaders who are spiritually alive, intellectually alert, physically disciplined, and socially adept. The electronic portfolio (ePortfolio) is the primary tool for recording and assessing student achievement of program outcomes. As an assessment tool, the ePortfolio helps students to become familiar with the degree program goals and outcomes and to understand how they contribute to the achievement of the purpose statement of the Seminary. Throughout their academic programs, students maintain an electronic record of progress in achieving degree program outcomes. Various artifacts are designated to demonstrate the extent to which program goals are being achieved. Students upload artifacts (e.g., student research and essays) to ePortfolio during each semester of enrollment, and information relative to required artifacts is included in course syllabi. Records related to assessment are maintained by the school for aggregation of data and initiation of university assessment reports. Students must satisfactorily meet all requirements of assessment to graduate. The assessment process includes a 0.5 credit hour course during both the first and final semesters of enrollment. An advisor-advisee degree program audit (PRFT 057 Mid-Program Assessment) occurs when the student has completed one-half of the degree program. Enrollment in PRFT 059 Whole Person Assessment, a corequisite of entry-level assessment, is also required to provide an electronic system (ePortfolio) for storing and assessing artifacts. The assessment office offers orientation and training to all students to assist them in understanding and fulfilling assessment requirements. An overview of the assessment program is given to all students at orientation, and specific requirements are explained in special sessions each semester, and at group advisement meetings. Information on the assessment process is also available online on the Graduate School of Theology and Ministry class pages.
Audit Privilege
Students in the Graduate School of Theology and Ministry maywith the approval of the instructors, their faculty advisors, and the associate deanaudit, without academic credit, courses offered by the Seminary. The audit privilege allows students to attend courses for personal enrichment without fulfilling the academic requirements. Required courses in any degree program may not be audited. Regular class attendance, as outlined in the course syllabus, is required to maintain an audit on transcript. If students do not meet the audit requirements for a course, a no pass is recorded on the transcripts. Students auditing a class may request the option of receiving a grade if they indicate this intention at the time of registration. Students must complete all course requirements according to the calendar of the course syllabus and submit a petition to the office of the associate dean to obtain credit for the course. The petition must be submitted and approved and tuition paid within one semester following enrollment in the course. Tuition must be paid at the time of the audit change request. A full-time Seminary student may audit one course in the Seminary curriculum per semester at no charge. Students enrolled in a full-time course load are charged a fee for auditing an additional course. Students enrolled as part-time pay one-half tuition to audit a class.
Theological Research Proficiency

All students entering any masters-level degree program are expected to have a comprehensive knowledge of English grammar and composition, the ability to do theological research, and a basic theological bibliography. Students passing the Theological Research Proficiency examination during first-semester orientation with a minimum score of 70 percent fulfill the requirement. Others are required to enroll in GTHE 517 Seminar in Theological Research Methods. Passing this course constitutes satisfying this proficiency requirement, which must be satisfied before students are allowed to enroll for graduate credit beyond 24 semester hours (not including prerequisite coursework). Taking PRM 784 Counseling Research meets this requirement for students in the M.A. counseling programs.
ORU Distinctive Courses

The Graduate School of Theology and Ministry has established specific courses in health fitness and Holy Spirit/Signs and Wonders that seek to fulfill the universitys mission. These courses are unique to ORU and are called ORU distinctive courses. These are required as part of the Seminary programs.
EVALUATION
Grading
Grades are recorded as A, B, C, D, or F. Grade points are assigned to each grade: four grade points are allowed for each semester hour of A; three for B; two for C; and one for D. In the Graduate School of Theology and Ministry, only graduate hours for which grades of A, B, or C are earned count toward the completion of the degree. Grade-point averages appropriate to each program are to be maintained. Courses in which a grade of D or F is earned are reported on the transcript and are included in determining the grade point average. The grade of I (incomplete) is allowed for work that is incomplete at the time grades are given. It is allowed only after the student establishes with the instructor and the associate dean, by petition, that work is incomplete for good cause. Incompletes are granted only for extenuating circumstances, normally prolonged illness that is verified by medical documentation or death in the family. Petitions for an incomplete grade must be granted before the last day of regular classes. It is the responsibility of the student to make up any
Health Fitness
The Graduate School of Theology and Ministry faculty and students participate in a full range of fitness opportunities. The core of the health and physical education program is the aerobics emphasis. New students at the Seminary enroll in a one-semester, one-credit course titled Graduate Health Fitness. In this course, students are instructed on the body, its anatomy and physiology, and the role of exercise, diet, weight control, and stress management in good health. Students must submit the results of a medical evaluation. An exercise program is prescribed. Requirements are adjusted according to gender and age, and special programs are available for students who cannot meet the requirements. In the semesters following the completion of Graduate Health Fitness, students may elect GHPE 515 Graduate Aerobics, GHPE 525 Graduate Walk for Fitness, or other activity courses. Students in the master of arts program need to take a total of three health

Based on their degrees, candidates prepare for and present themselves for their respective integrative group experiences. Each candidate presents a portfolio of required artifacts and additional materials for faculty review. This experience also involves writing a paper that integrates the overall expected outcomes of the degree program and interaction with the faculty/professional supervisors. A representative panel assesses the artifacts according to respective rubrics. Two or three events are planned for intentional evaluation of degree programs during candidacy-level assessment. This occurs through a planned dialogue between administration, faculty, and students. An exit diague between candidates for graduation and the deans of the Seminary is scheduled at the conclusion of the final semester.
PRFT 056 Entry-Level Assessment

All entering students enroll in PRFT 056 EntryLevel Assessment. This level involves student participation in a peer group experience called Koinonia, where they reflect on their identity and calling, and at the culmination of the Koinonia group experience, write a self-reflection paper. Students also take the Myers Briggs Type Inventory, and after receiving training by a certified MBTI administrator to understand the interpretive report, the students write a paper analyzing their particular type and its impacty on their ministry and leadership style. A structured interview with academic advisors occurs as part of the entry-level assessment. The topics considered in Koinonia and the MBTI interpretative report are discussed in relationship to vocational plans. Advisors are assigned during entry-level assessment according to each students degree program and remain the students advisor through graduation. Students also enroll in PRFT 059 Whole Person Assessment, a corequisite of PRFT 056 Entry-Level Assessment, for the purpose of recording their academic progress by uploading relevant documents (artifacts) to ePortfolio. (A fee is attached to establish an ePortfolio account.) Artifacts are published, stored, and assessed online each semester of enrollment. Various artifacts have been designated to demonstrate the extent to which program goals are being achieved. Information relative to required artifacts is included in course syllabi. Training on how to use the electronic system occurs during the first semester. Based on the students degree program, artifacts other than the reflection paper and MBTI response paper may be required.
Scholarships and Grants

Academic scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic achievement. The award may not exceed the students need as determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Grants-in-aid awards are made by the Seminary to deserving students with special qualifications and needs. Work scholarships are awarded by the Seminary to some who have certain abilities and who are willing to complete work assignments. Theology Scholarships are available to graduate students in the Graduate School of Theology and Ministry based on entering GPAs or the cumulative GPA after two semesters (24 credit hours) of graduate theology coursework. The minimum GPA requirement is 3.5. Amounts range from $700 to $1,700 per year. Students can contact the Financial Aid office for more information. A few endowed Restricted Scholarships are available for students meeting specific academic, denominational, and/or other requirements established by the donors. Students can contact the Financial Aid office for more information. ORU Need Grants are available only to graduate theology students, and applications are included as part of the acceptance packet send by the Graduate School of Theology and Ministry. A completed FAFSA is required. Awards are based on need and availability of funds.
BACKGROUND CHECK
Some clinical agencies and Christian ministries require students who participate in field experiences to undergo a criminal background check. Therefore, criminal background checks are conducted on all students the semester prior to enrollment in FED 672 Field Education Church, FED 673 Field Education Community, FED 750 Ministry Practicum, PRM 750 Christian Education Practicum, PRM 763 Counseling Practicum, PRM 764 Marriage and Family Practicum, PRM 775 Missionary Internship. The results of this search are filed with the universitys office of Risk Management, and confidentiality is maintained. An unsatisfactory criminal record will prevent the student from enrolling in these classes and may affect the students completion of degree requirements. Background check forms, instructions regarding this procedure, and the cost for this process are available with the professors who oversee the field-based courses. It is the responsibility of each student to comply with these requirements and to pay the required fee. It is the students responsibility to inform the dean or associate dean of any new or pending criminal issues that may be involved. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action or dismissal from the university.
PRFT 057 Mid-Program Assessment Audit

PRFT 057 Mid-Program Assessment Audit provides opportunities for students to discuss degree program progress with their advisors based on their degree programs. Students enroll for PRFT 057 the semester following the completion of one-half of their course requirements or during the semester prior to enrollment in PRFT 058 Candidacy-Level Assessment whichever occurs first. During the mid-program audit, students discuss with their advisors how their personal calling has become more defined and reflect on their achievement of degree program goals. Students review their progress in achieving the personal and professional goals identified in PRFT 056 Entry-Level Assessment. The student provides an unofficial record of credit hours completed and an inventory of the program artifacts submitted so that student and advisor may assess progress in the seminary degree program. Credit for PRFT 057 Mid-Program Assessment Audit is given when the student submits a file copy of the status recommendation/progress review form completed by the advisor.

CHRISTIAN COUNSELING (CCL)

Master of Arts The Master of Arts in Christian Counseling is designed to prepare students for a specialized ministry of counseling within the context of the local church, church-related agencies, or other professional settings. The program enables students to integrate the most effective models and theories of counseling with a sound Biblical and theological perspective and a sensitivity to the operation of the Holy Spirit. Helping hurting people is an essential element of the Gospel, and this program equips students to help people realize wholeness in every area of their livesspirit, mind, and body. The M.A. in Christian Counseling program is designed to meet the licensure requirements for Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC) and for Licensed Marital and Family Therapists (LMFT). While licensure requirements vary across states, certain core courses tend to be standard. Students are encouraged to contact individual state licensing offices to determine if any additional coursework is needed. Advisors are available to help students design their degree plans accordingly. Because students are called to the counseling ministry at all stages of life, this degree does not require prerequisites before matriculation. The courses within the degree, however, are sequential and need to be completed in a specified order. Advisors guide students in making these selections. Students are required to pass an objective competency exam before enrolling in practicum and internship courses. This exam (offered in January, May, and August) is designed to prepare students for the state licensure exam. Students can take this competency exam more than once. Students who fail to pass the exam or who elect not to take it may substitute two PRM electives in place of the practicum and internship in order to complete the hours for the degree. However, without passing the exam and the practicum and internship courses, the student is not eligible for licensure.

PRACTICAL THEOLOGY (MPT)

Master of Arts The Master of Arts in Practical Theology is designed to equip graduates for effective ministry in the local church, para-church organizations, and other ministry contexts. The degree provides a foundation in ministerial theory and practice that can assist students to pursue ministry vocations. It seeks to develop the essential knowledge and skills for lay positions in the church or specialized professions in both church and community. This degree program prepares leaders by increasing their competence in and understanding of the Word of God through hermeneutical and study skills and by developing a theological framework for their understanding of the teaching of Scripture and for the practices of ministry. In addition to a strong Biblical and theological foundation, the curriculum is flexible enough to meet the demands of both professional and lay positions. The degree program is structured to provide a strong Biblical/theological/practical ministry foundation for leadership and includes flexibility for students to structure their own programs to meet perceived needs in ministry. The practicum provides supervised practice in church or community contexts that encourage the integration of Biblical and theological understanding with practical ministry strategies. The 12 semester hours of undesginated electives provide opportunity for the development of individual interests through course work and specialized research and projects. Because ORU also has graduate programs in education and business, students may choose to use a limited number of these elective hours for cross-disciplinary training. Prerequisites* Credit Hours Choice of one of the following: 0-3 GTHE 517 Seminar in Theological Research (3 hrs.) PRFT 049 Theological Research Proficiency Exam (0 hrs.) ____ Prerequisites Total 0-3

Most of the study/work is done individually in the setting of the local parish or other field of service. Students also complete an applied research project involving research and writing about a ministry situation.
Candidates applying for admission to the doctoral program should hold a first professional theological degree (M.Div. or the equivalent) with a 3.0 grade point average from an ATS accredited Seminary. They should also have a minimum of three years of full-time post-masters degree ministry experience.

Curriculum and Course Load

The program is built around core courses, a choice of specializations (called concentrations), and a research project. A cohort of students follow the same sequence of courses for their core courses but separate as they choose from one of the two specializations available: (1) Pastoral Care and Counseling and (2) Church Ministries and Leadership. During the project phase, each student chooses an area of special interest and completes an applied research project within that area. Projects focus on such themes of ministry as evangelism, church growth, preaching, Christian education, missions, church and society, administration, and pastoral care and healing. The full-time load for doctoral students in the Graduate School of Theology and Ministry is 6 hours per semester while enrolled in the coursework phase of the program. One hour per semester is considered fulltime when enrolled in the project phase. Two academic years are required for completion of the coursework. The applied research project may be finished during the third year. The entire program must be concluded within five years after entry. Additional information is available in the Doctor of Ministry Handbook.

Courses are delivered in a variety of distance formats that promote the students development and higher-level learning using analysis, synthesis, and evaluation skills. Students demonstrate comprehension of course material through responses to objective questions (e.g., matching, short answer, and multiple choice), written work (e.g., answering essay questions, preparing written papers, and doing book critiques), and interacting with classmates in discussions and group projects (in online courses). Careful attention has been given to ensure that the spirit and ethos of Oral Roberts University are maintained in all ORU online courses. Some courses may require proctored exams. Test proctors must be appropriately credentialed education professionals (e.g., principals, school teachers, school counselors, college/university professors), and must be approved in advance by ORU. It is the students responsibility to complete a Proctor Selection Form, identify an appropriate proctor, and make arrangements with a proctor. Students must do their own academic work. Coursework done in collaboration with anyone else must be disclosed to and approved by the instructor. Any and all materials obtained from any source (e.g., written, online, verbal) that a student uses in the preparation for any assignment or any other work for submission must be accurately credited and/or cited within the submitted work. A student violating any aspect of academic integrity may receive an F in the course involved and may be subject to additional disciplinary action, including possible suspension from ORU.

OVERVIEW
Distance learning is designed to provide flexible quality academic programs that accommodate adult learners who seek to better equip themselves educationally but find it impossible to leave their homes, jobs, and ministries to relocate.
Proficiency Examinations
Students may be required to take math and/or English proficiency examinations to determine the appropriate courses in which they need to enroll. These exams are designed to facilitate student success in their academic programs.
ENROLLMENT
Each applicant should complete an application form and submit all post-secondary transcripts as well as an official high school transcript. Each applicant also needs to submit a signed Honor Code Pledge. Official transcripts from institutions attended outside of Oral Roberts University must be forwarded to the ORU distance learning representative. More information is available at http://www.oruonline.com. Students in the ORU distance learning program who have not enrolled within one calendar year are required to submit an Application for Readmission. Applicants for readmission must be approved by the Registrars Office, Student Development Office, and Student Accounts. Students are readmitted under current degree plans and policies, which could alter the students previously approved degree plans.
ONLINE ACADEMIC DEGREE PROGRAMS

In conjunction with on-campus faculty and colleges, students can earn a bachelors degree through distance learning by choosing to follow one of four undergraduate majors that can be completed entirely through distance courses: business administration, Christian caregiving, church ministries, and leadership studies. Eight minors are available through distance learning: Bible, Christian caregiving, church ministries, general business, theological studies, evangelism and missions, church history, and liberal studies.
Prior Learning Assessment

This process recognizes the knowledge that adult learners have gained through non-college courses, onthe-job training, or personal study. Credit may be granted for knowledge acquired that is equivalent to content taught in a specific course. The knowledge must apply to a course(s) in the Oral Roberts University curriculum. Students should contact their academic advisors for more information on the policies and procedures for a Prior Learning Assessment.
Test-Out Exams for Course Credit

To receive credit for courses, students can take test-out exams, which enable them to prove proficiency in a subject and thus eliminate the need to take the course. Students who earn a grade of C (70%) or better are given credit for the course. Students who matriculate to ORU may earn up to 30 hours of ORU credit through the test-out process.
Business Administration (B.S.)

In conjunction with the ORU College of Business, the online business administration major has been designed to provide background for executives in business enterprises and industrial society. The broad background in the liberal arts provides a basis for social understanding and appreciation of society as it relates to the business environment. This major is an excellent preparatory program for students desiring to pursue the Master of Business Administration degree or the Master of Not-for-Profit Management degree, which are both offered through the ORU College of Business.
CURRICULUM AND COURSE CREDIT

Course Load and Format
The normal course load for a full-time distance student is six credit hours in each term. No student may take more than seven hours in a term without the approval of the college dean.
HPE Requirements
All degree-seeking students are required to enroll in and pass the Health Fitness and Fitness for Life courses. Every student is required to make satisfactory progress in physical fitness, as demonstrated in each HPE courses assignments.
