DID YOU KNOW...?
Beginning its journey in 1986 as an undergraduate program, Langston鈥檚 physical therapy education has evolved significantly over the years. In 2002, the program took a vast leap forward with the inception of the state鈥檚 first Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program. The inaugural cohort, graduating in 2005, exemplified the program鈥檚 dedication to producing professionals equipped to meet the evolving needs of society.
The School of Physical Therapy鈥檚 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鈥檚 DPT program stands as a symbol of excellence.
