The University of Louisville, founded in 1798, was the first city-owned university in the United States. The School of Dentistry is one of the nation's oldest, being continuously active since 1887. The School is located in the heart of Louisville, the nation's 17th largest metropolitan center. The city lies on the Ohio River and is a short distance from several other large cities including Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Nashville. The University has a strong tradition, and is committed to research, clinical and educational excellence.

In addition, the School is home to the complete range of accredited Advanced Education programs, a General Practice Residency and a nationally recognized Dental Hygiene program. As such the University of Louisville is a recognized referral center for the region, and programs treat a wide variety of complex patients in all disciplines, with a strong commitment to communication and an interdisciplinary philosophy. The School of Dentistry hosts a vibrant continuing education program.
