Langston University reported a 45 percent increase in first time freshmen enrollment in 2013 over 2012.
Langston President Dr. Kent J. Smith, Jr. said hard work and recruiting college ready students are some key tools that helped the university achieve one of the largest classes in its 116 year history.
“Students from across the country are recognizing the tremendous educational value and quality available at Langston University,” said Smith. “As Oklahoma’s only Historically Black College and University (HBCU), and the western most HBCU in the country, Langston University has an incredible opportunity to serve the public good through our unique urban and rural land-grant educational mission.”
