ORU QuestMinistries, businesses, organizations, and governments are facing the most complex issues and changeable environments ever encountered in modern times. To meet the ever changing needs for continuing education today, Oral Roberts University (ORU) is pleased to announce the launch of ORU Quest. ORU Quest will provide dynamic personal development training and educational programs to professionals, corporate executives and lifelong learners around the globe.

“Professionals in the 21st century operate in an extremely competitive and complex world,” said ORU President William M. Wilson. “To excel, they must cultivate a working knowledge of a variety of subjects. ORU Quest will provide high-quality programs that help these professionals keep up with the ever evolving global marketplace.”

ORU Quest is responding to today's critical demands by drawing upon its considerable wealth of expert knowledge, cutting-edge technology, and relentless commitment to innovation to create an array of relevant, high impact and easy-to-access non-degree learning opportunities.

ORU Quest features a variety of flexible learning solution formats for personal and professional needs of individuals, teams, and organizations. Designed for workforces and ministries everywhere, learning formats will range from campus-based face-to-face seminars and workshops, to dynamic interactive online courses, telepresence, and blended-learning formats.

The solutions-oriented content of ORU Quest courses will draw upon decades of Spirit-empowered higher education expertise and professional practice of its faculty in the fields of leadership, theology, mission, business, science and engineering, healthcare, education, the arts and government. ORU Quest content is based on a whole-person approach to learning. So in addition to providing thought leadership on vital topics, ORU Quest content also encourages Spirit-empowered, biblically based, ethical, and spiritual responses to contemporary issues.

“This new program will bring the best educational resources to lifelong learners around the world in a variety of formats,” said ORU Provost Kathaleen Reid-Martinez. “With a strong backing from ORU, the people who choose ORU Quest will be receiving high-quality, world-class teaching from some of today’s brightest minds.

"ORU Quest offers a focused approach to executive education and professional training that companies and organizations have been requesting,” said Sergio Matviuk, dean of Online and Lifelong Learning, who oversees the new division. “Leaders can count on ORU Quest programs to provide the foremost insight into today's critical topics."

With the launch of ORU Quest comes two inaugural seminars that embody dynamic topics essential to today's marketplace. The first is a series of Cyber Security Seminars, which will be held on September 17, 2015. This will be followed by a Sales Seminar: Grow Sales.
