The College of Dentistry, founded in 1878, is the oldest dental college in the south and the third oldest public college of dentistry in the United States. The College of Dentistry offers the Doctor of Dental Surgery program and additional post graduate dental programs. As you review the information, you will see all the College of Dentistry has to offer dental students.

We invite you to visit our campus. You may schedule your campus visit online or by contacting the Office of Enrollment Services at 901-448-5560, toll free 877-843-4461 or visituthsc@uthsc.edu.

The College of Dentistry will be using the American Dental Education centralized application service, AADSAS, for the Dental Class entering in August 2014. The application period will be June 4, 2013 through September 30, 2013. AADSAS will open to new applications on June 4, 2013; you may access the application at aadsas.org.

Students who have previously applied directly to the College of Dentistry must re-submit all materials (official transcripts, pre-professional recommendations, letters of recommendation, etc.) to AADSAS. There is not a mechanism for the College of Dentistry to forward these materials to AADSAS. Do not send any materials directly to the College of Dentistry unless specifically requested to do so.

Students selected for admission will be instructed to complete a Supplemental Application.
