ORU is pleased to present a part of Tulsa that is unlike anywhere else in the city. From the moment visitors encounter the Praying Hands and travel down the Avenue of Flags, they should be aware of the novel Christian standard represented by campus facilities and the international flare in our student body, faculty, and staff. The surrounding region is typical Tulsa--small-town feel with a cosmopolitan expectancy flowing into outer areas. Please avail yourself of all the campus has to offer, and take in the city at your leisure. Navigate your way with the help of the the campus map.
