to fostering Christ-centered faith, students take 12 hours
of Bible-based courses in addition to general education,
core and concentration courses.
Rooted in technology
Named for founder R.G. LeTourneau, a devout
Christian and inventor of widely used earthmoving
equipment, LeTourneau University was founded in 1946
as a technical institute for male veterans returning from
World War II. In 1956, true to its roots in technology, it
added an aviation program.
Today, the nondenominational Christian university
welcomes more than 3,000 male and female students with
1,800 enrolled in an undergraduate program and nearly 300 in
a graduate program. More than 1,000 high school students are
dual-enrolled taking both high school and college courses.

Along with aviation-focused specialties, academic
studies at LETU include the arts and sciences, business,
education, engineering, nursing, psychology and theology.
The aviation program's overall three-year placement rate
is 95.5%, according to Schubarth. The student-to-faculty
ratio is 14-to-1. The average class size is 16 students.
"While we are not a large university, we are much
more than a small regional college," Schubarth said.
"Our students come from all over the state of Texas,
from all corners of the United States, and from around
the globe. In the fall of 2019, the school of aviation
admitted its largest-ever incoming class and had a
total enrollment of 310 students, representing a 44%
enrollment growth over the last five years."
