New Degree Prepares Students for Global Impact

New majorOral Roberts University announced a new degree program titled Global Ministry and the Marketplace. The new program will be offered through the College of Theology and Ministry and will be available beginning fall 2014.

“This competitive new major will prepare students for a life of ministry no matter where they work or live,” said ORU Chair for the Undergraduate Department of Theology and Ministry, Carol Blan. “We specifically created the program to provide business minded students with the knowledge and experience to work cross culturally as they seek to fulfill God’s will for their life.”

  •           Developing a creative ministry for global influence
  •           Training in biblically sound and theologically balanced marketplace ministry
  •           Preparing for local, global and cross-cultural ministry
