 U.S. News and World Report named Langston University’s Rehabilitation and Counseling Program as the 10th best program in the United States, making it the highest ranked Historically Black College or University (HBCU) on the list.
“We are incredibly proud to see our Rehabilitation Counseling Program break into the Top 10 nationally,” said Dr. Corey Moore, the Founding Director of the Rehab Counseling program. “While the ranking is a high honor, the true reward is watching our graduates enter the workforce fully equipped to lead, and seeing our research translate into better outcomes for the communities we serve.”
Last year, Langston was tied with Winston-Salem University for 18th, but rose eight points in the rankings to become ranked 10th in 2026, beating out programs at colleges such as the Illinois Institute of Technology, Northern Illinois University and the University at Buffalo-Suny.
Dr. Moore stated, “We will use the momentum to further enhance the academic preparation of the next generation of rehabilitation and mental health professionals and to continue translating our high-impact solutions-oriented research initiatives.”
The Rehabilitation Counseling master’s program is offered at Langston University’s Oklahoma City and Tulsa campuses.
According to the university, the program boasts small class sizes allowing for more individual instruction from faculty, research opportunities and hands-on internships.
