The New York University College of Dentistry was founded in 1865 as the New York College of Dentistry, with 31 students and 10 faculty members. It was officially merged with New York University in 1925, which led to the promotion of research and postdoctoral education. It is located near Manhattan’s Midtown area.
The College offers training annually to over 1,600 students from all over the U.S. and nearly 50 countries. In addition to prepearing new proffesionals, NYUCD endeavors to improve the health of the highly diverse populations in New York City and around the world.
