Brian Starr, Oklahoma Christian’s provost, said he expected grief surrounding the end of this particular program would “be more heartfelt” because it is a private Christian university.
The recent announcement about the “sunset” of the theology graduate program came at the same time as a round of layoffs at the university, but Starr said these were two separate issues.
Starr said the discontinuation of the theology graduate program came at a time when the university was down to just two dozen students in the school’s three theology programs.
