The Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA), the organization that accredits dental education programs, has reaffirmed the quality of education at the University of Louisville. The school has received reaccreditation of the doctor of dental medicine (DMD) program, bachelor of science in dental hygiene program, and advanced dental education programs in endodontics, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, and prosthodontics. The next scheduled CODA site visit for these programs will take place in 2030.

“This accreditation reaffirms the high quality of our educational and clinical programs. It speaks to the commitment of our faculty, staff, and students to collectively achieve our mission at the highest level possible.”

The UofL School of Dentistry educates more than 600 students in the DMD, dental hygiene, post-graduate, and oral biology programs. The school is ranked as one of the top 20 dental schools in the United States and one of the top 50 dental schools in the world according to the 2023 Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS) Rankings for Dentistry and Oral Sciences.
