LeTourneau University is named for its founder, R.G. LeTourneau, one of the world's greatest earthmoving equipment inventors. A businessman and devout Christian, LeTourneau toured Longview, Texas, with his wife, Evelyn, in 1946 to consider a manufacturing site for his next earthmoving equipment factory. While flying over a sprawling complex of a vacated Army hospital consisting of over 200 frame buildings, Mrs. LeTourneau inquired about the facility. When told it was no longer in use; she suggested establishing a school to educate returning World War II veterans.
Today, around 1,000 students attend LeTourneau University classes online or at our educational centers in Dallas and Houston. They might not step foot onto the university's beautiful main campus in Longview, Texas unless they come for graduation.
Longview and Tyler both opened learning centers for evening and weekend classes in 1989. Dallas and Bedford opened in 1990. Houston followed in 1993. A second Houston site, in the Westchase District, opened in 2006.
