We discover the capabilities of the upcoming Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) to measure ντ charged-current interactions and the associated oscillation probability P(νμ→ντ) at its far detector, concentrating on how such results can be used to probe neutrino properties and interactions. DUNE has the potential to identify significantly more ντ events than all existing experiments and can use this data sample to nontrivially test the three-massive-neutrinos paradigm by providing complementary measurements to those from the νe-appearance and νμ-disappearance channels. We also discuss the sensitivity of the ντ-appearance channel to several hypotheses for the physics that may lurk beyond the three-massive-neutrinos paradigm: a nonunitary lepton mixing matrix, the 3+1 light neutrinos hypothesis, and the existence of nonstandard neutral-current neutrino interactions. Throughout, we also consider the relative benefits of the proposed high-energy tune of the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) beam line.
