Last fall, ORU welcomed its 50th class and also celebrated the sixth straight year of enrollment growth with 3,565 students. Freshman retention remained strong at over 80 percent for the fifth consecutive year.
“In today’s competitive higher education environment, I am excited to see the number of non-traditional, online learners joining our ranks,” said ORU President William M. Wilson. “We are deeply committed to continuing to create avenues for future students from around the world to gain access to our unique whole person education.”
This school year, ORU has student representation from 84 countries and all 50 states. That count is up from the previous year by 11 nations. This year’s enrollment includes students from nations new to ORU, including: Albania, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Denmark, Dominica, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Greece, Haiti, Malawi, Mongolia, Romania and Spain.
