About LeTourneau University
LeTourneau University is a private, interdenominational evangelical Christian university located in Longview, Texas, founded in 1946 by R.G. LeTourneau. The university describes itself as “the Christian polytechnic university” and offers more than 140 undergraduate and graduate programs, with particular strengths in engineering, aviation, computer science, and business. It enrolls approximately 3,000 students and reported an endowment of $37.5 million as of 2024. Because the university collects financial information from students, staff, and other members of its community, a breach exposing that data can put affected individuals at risk of fraud and unauthorized account access.
