President’s Welcome
Welcome to Langston University!
As you explore the LU website, you will learn about the exceptional education students receive inside and outside the classroom. Our highest priority is the wellness of our students. Langston utilizes unique strategies and initiatives to cultivate student development and increase student success.
Langston University is Oklahoma’s only historical black university in the state and this nation’s westernmost HBCU! Students can pursue their education at three campuses in Langston, Oklahoma City, and Tulsa, OK.
These locations provide a nurturing environment. Langston University students interact with superb faculty who challenge them to grow and expand their knowledge each day. Our academic programs are delivered through six schools – Agriculture and Applied Sciences, Arts and Sciences, Business, Education and Behavioral Sciences, Nursing and Health Professions, and Physical Therapy.
LU is proud of our rich history and storied legacy. Our dynamic faculty and passionate students give hope to a bright and promising future. I encourage you to take a few moments to learn more about Dear Langston, its mission and core values. If you haven’t already done so, please plan a campus visit. We’d love to see you in Lions country!
Sincerely,
Ruth Ray Jackson, Ph.D.
