New York University. College of Dentistry

The New York College of Dentistry was established in 1865 in a small rental space on Twenty-Second Street and Fifth Avenue. The mission of the College was to promote altruism in dentistry while providing first-rate education. Upon its inception, the school had thirty-one students and ten faculty members. Of the original thirty-one, the first graduating class contained nine students.

When the New York College of Dentistry merged with New York University in 1925, it became known as the New York University College of Dentistry. With the similar philosophies of the two institutions, the merge led to the creation of a dental school at the forefront of research and postdoctoral education.
