The School of Dentistry is a professional school offering a curriculum leading to the Doctor of Dental Surgery degree (D.D.S.). Graduate programs in the dental specialties are also available. The School of Dentistry also offers a program of continuing education courses for dental practitioners and auxiliaries including dental laboratory technicians.
The School of Dentistry was organized June 21, 1892, as the Dental Department of Western Reserve University. For the first 25 years of its existence, the school was located in downtown Cleveland. In 1917 the School of Dentistry became an integral part of the University, and now occupies a building adjacent to the schools of medicine and nursing and University Hospitals of Cleveland.
The School of Dentistry is a member of the American Association of Dental Schools and is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Dental Association. Since its organization, it has conferred degrees on approximately 4,200 graduates.
