Neutrino oscillations offer the potential for insight into physics beyond the standard model. Long-baseline neutrino experiments aim to measure the parameters responsible for neutrino oscillation. Now that the value of the parameter \theta_{13} has been conclusively shown to be non-zero and not too small, the focus has shifted to the measurement of the (Dirac) CP phase \delta_{CP} that determines whether or not oscillating neutrinos violate CP. Another important question for model building purposes is whether the neutrinos are arranged in a normal or inverted hierarchy. I will talk about how the sensitivities to CP violation and mass hierarchy can be studied in the context of a promising upcoming long baseline experiment DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment). I will also talk about how the presence of some new physics such as sterile neutrinos or Non Standard Interactions (NSI) can substantially affect the CP and hierarchy measurements at long baseline experiments, particularly at DUNE.
