A Welcome from Dean Barkmeier
Creighton University School of Dentistry is creating a model educational environment in which every point of contact between students and curriculum reinforces ethical and professional conduct, anchored in the beliefs of our Jesuit, Catholic heritage and the profession of dentistry.
Our faculty are outstanding educators who have been recognized nationally and internationally for their work. Research in the School of Dentistry is a growing enterprise with extramural funding support from the National Institutes of Health, foundations and multinational corporations. Research at the School has led to discoveries and insights that improve dental care.
The School of Dentistry continues to draw a large number of applicants. In 2009, we received 2,900 high-quality applicants for the 85 available positions in our freshmen class.
