School Info
The goals of the program are to produce graduates who: 1) possess the preventive, diagnostic, and technical knowledge and skills necessary to provide patients with comprehensive dental health in a variety of health care delivery systems; 2) view their role in the profession from a humanitarian perspective, accepting patients' dental health as a right rather than a privilege, their patients' psychological and physical health being the prime focus of their practices; 3) are able to provide socially sensitive and responsible leadership in the community of their practice; and 4) continuously update their knowledge of dental health and oral diseases, their techniques, and their practices. The school participates in the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE).
