ACADEMIC AFFAIRS

Academic Affairs plays a vital role in the management and execution of the DMD program, including the preparation and monitoring of the academic calendar and daily academic schedules of both students and faculty members, student assessment and administration with the aid of its three academic departments: Preventive Dental Science Department, Maxillofacial Surgery & Diagnostic Science Department and Restorative & Prosthetic Dental Science Department. Moreover, Academic Affairs is responsible for supporting student learning experiences, program initiatives, and providing faculty support. This department provides professional development resources for faculty and develops, revises and implements policies and procedures when needed. At the College of Dentistry, we aim to develop dentists with ethical behavior, teamwork, strong decision-making and leadership skills.  We believe that this can only be accomplished by developing our students’ character along with their knowledge and skills.  Hence, we encourage our students to actively participate in all college activities and committees, which includes student representation in the College of Dentistry Curriculum Committee, as well as other opportunities through which students can candidly evaluate their academic activities and provide their valuable input to contribute to program improvement.  The College Library, which is also under Academic Affairs, supports the DMD curriculum and provides avenues for student research.
