Langston University

Langston University, Oklahoma's only historically Black college or university (HBCU), is situated in the rural town of Langston, approximately 40 miles northeast of Oklahoma City. The land-grant institution, established in 1897, occupies a 320-acre main campus characterized by red-brick buildings and rolling plains typical of the region. Academics emphasize programs in agriculture, nursing, and business, with the university operating additional campuses in Oklahoma City and Tulsa to serve urban communities. The residential campus maintains several dormitories for its student population, with most first-year students required to live on campus. As a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), Langston competes in the Sooner Athletic Conference, with men's football and women's basketball serving as primary athletic programs.
