Neutrinos remain the least understood of the fundamental building blocks of matter. During the past decade, accelerator based neutrino experiments played a fundamental role in confirming neutrino flavor change and in measuring neutrino oscillation parameters with high precision. The next generation of experiments will begin probing the existence of CP violation in the leptonic sector and open a unique window on physics at the grand unified scale. After reviewing the phenonomenolgy of neutrino oscillations, I will describe the latest results from long-baseline neutrino experiments, including the surprising possibility that neutrinos are superluminal particles. We will then conclude with a broad look into future neutrino projects and how they will address the very challenging open questions in neutrino physics.
