Langston University (LU) is a regional, four-year diverse public institution located 12 miles east of Guthrie in Langston, Oklahoma.

It is the only historically black college in the state but also the westernmost historically black college in the United States.

The school was founded in 1897 and was known as the Oklahoma Colored Agricultural and Normal University. Langston University was created as a result of the second Morrill Act in 1890. Langston University is named for John Mercer Langston (1829–1897), civil rights pioneer, first African American member of Congress from Virginia. The school was renamed Langston University in 1941.

Langston offers more than 38 degree programs, including 5 masters degrees and one doctoral program. It offers associate, bachelors and master’s degrees that are delivered through its schools of Agriculture and Applied Sciences, Arts and Sciences, Business, Education and Behavioral Sciences, and Nursing and Health Professions. The university was the first university in the state accredited with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy program in 2005.

The school is known as a leader in the field of agricultural research, and hosts the internationally recognized E (Kika) de la Garza Institute for Goat Research. Langston University is the definitive authority on urban trends and on finding solutions to issues faced by urban dwellers, particularly African Americans and other minorities. As a land-grant institution, it is committed to providing much-needed training, knowledge and support to farmers throughout America and in some foreign countries.
