DID YOU KNOW...?
Beginning its journey in 1986 as an undergraduate program, Langston’s physical therapy education has evolved significantly over the years. In 2002, the program took a vast leap forward with the inception of the state’s first Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program. The inaugural cohort, graduating in 2005, exemplified the program’s dedication to producing professionals equipped to meet the evolving needs of society.
The School of Physical Therapy’s new building provides our LU-DPT students access to cutting-edge clinical, virtual, simulation and research labs equipped with high-quality equipment. Backed by a comprehensive curriculum and expert faculty, Langston’s DPT program stands as a symbol of excellence.
