Freshmen at Oral Roberts University have a unique, new requirement. The school is requiring them to wear FitBits to track their physical activity.

The Christian school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has always prided itself on developing mind, body and spirit.

Now, it can track students' physical progress, whether they're on campus or thousands of miles away. Students are expected to walk at least 10,000 steps a day.

ORU hopes to find a link between good health and better grades.
