Committee Composition

The Assistant Dean for Admissions will serve as a member and permanent chairperson of the committee. The committee will consist of twelve full-time faculty members elected by the Faculty Assembly for three-year terms, three private practitioners identified by the Dean for three-year terms, one member from an alumni group identified by the Dean for a three-year term, three dental students, and one member from the basic science departments identified by the Dean for a three-year term. Members of this committee who are not full-time members of the College of Dentistry will be identified by the Dean, whether they are elected by their constituents or appointed, and may be re-appointed for one additional three-year term. The Director of Student and Multicultural Affairs, the Freshman class advisor, and the Director of Student Financial Aid will serve as ex officio members. All committee recommendations are presented directly to the Dean.

Standing Committee Charge

As stated in the Constitution and Bylaws, it is the responsibility of the committee to recruit, select, and recommend to the Dean the most outstanding group of student applicants for admission to the D.M.D. program of the College of Dentistry. The committee may seek consultation with relevant individuals, committees, or departments within the College, but will have the final responsibility for establishing all selection criteria for admission.

Committee Mission Statement

To assure high quality and increased access to oral health care in the United States, the Committee on Student Admission and Recruitment will strive to increase the selection and enrollment of dental students who will be of high quality, diverse, and sensitive to the oral health needs of patients.
