University of Minnesota School of Dentistry

The University of Minnesota has the largest enrollment of pre-doctoral dental students in the upper Midwest (96 per class) and is the only dental hygiene program in Minnesota that grants a baccalaureate degree and is affiliated with a dental school (24 students per class). The dental and dental hygiene programs emphasize scientific, scholarly, interpersonal communication and practice management skills required of graduates in a continually changing profession. Career planning is integrated into the core curriculum. Teaching methods are tailored to course content and include traditional lectures, small group tutorials, cooperative learning teams, routine laboratories and advanced simulation, clinical practice in a comprehensive care facility and community-based clinical experiences. All fourth-year dental students spend four to six weeks in extramural programs.
