MissionThe University of Maryland School of Dentistry is the direct descendant of the world’s first dental
college, the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, which was chartered by an act of the Maryland
General Assembly in 1840. It has successfully upheld the aspirations of its founders, Drs. Horace H.
Hayden and Chapin A. Harris. The School of Dentistry is an exciting place to be, a place with unique
history and tradition in our profession, yet eager to embrace a future that assuredly will be different.
The school’s mission is to improve the quality of life in Maryland through education, research and
service related to health, with special emphasis on improving dental, oral and craniofacial health
through comprehensive education, research and service programs.

CurriculumThe D.D.S. program combines a strong base of biological sciences and an
outstanding clinical education, with a focus on application of latest research
findings. Working in a highly collegial manner, nationally recognized
faculty provide excellent educational services for students. Students have
the opportunity to utilize innovative educational methodologies, including
online learning activities. The outstanding clinical education program, featuring
patient-centered and student-centered general practices, simulates
the structure of a dental practice. Various cooperative efforts with local,
state and federal agencies also provide dental services for special-needs
populations. Additionally, the University of Maryland School of Dentistry-
Perryville is a satellite school staffed by faculty and students providing
contemporary dental care to an underserved population in Cecil County
and surrounding areas. This 26-chair facility is equipped with state-ofthe-
art equipment. Students engage in service learning experiences at
this facility under the supervision of faculty. Dental graduates are well
prepared to enter advanced dental education programs and to practice
their professions in a wide range of private practice, public service and
academic settings.
