Our program is the only public dental school in Missouri.
Our alumni account for roughly half of all practicing dentists in Missouri. Yet our reach goes further, we
also provide a critical education outlet for Kansas and several other states without a dental school. Our
university is committed to being a model urban university that is recognized for our partnerships with
multifarious communities to effectively foster a healthy, safe, more economically secure quality of life.
