Faculty, staff, and students participate in interdisciplinary research and training activities involving the University's five health science colleges as well as other University colleges and departments. Founded in 1882, the college began as a single University department. In 1900 the University underwent general reorganization and the Dental Department became the College of Dentistry. In the 19th century dentistry was taught at several locations in Iowa, but today the college is Iowa's only provider of dental education and ranks as a leader in dental education nationwide. The college and its educational programs are accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association, an independent tripartite commission authorized and recognized by the Commission on Post-Secondary Education.
Programs offered by the college cover the full spectrum of dentistry and closely integrated fields.
