"The small class size allows us to receive timely, dedicated attention and assistance from faculty at any time. It also makes it easier to developing personal connections with faculty."
"UNMC has state-of-the-art equipment and technology. The preclinic labs were renovated in the Fall of 2019."
"Attending UNMC was my first “small town feel” experience, and I quickly learned that everyone seems to know and share everything about everyone else... whether it’s completely true or not!"

What are the best things about attending University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry?

UNMC College of Dentistry has one of the smaller class sizes in the country and, as a result, offers a unique “family” environment that larger schools cannot provide. This aspect is what draws in many applicants. Students get to know everyone in their class well, along with staff, faculty, and even the “higher ups” in administration. Coming from a large university, this has been one of my favorite parts about attending this school. My professors and administrators not only know my name, but they also know me outside of the classroom and school setting. And, of course, our small class size is conducive to forming close friendships with our peers. We are close after having shared experiences in and out of the classroom.
