Introduction
The University of Minnesota was established in 1851
and took over the Minnesota College Hospital in
1888, establishing its own Department of Medicine.
The Dental School, originally a part of this department, became separated in 1892, and in 1932 became
known as the School of Dentistry. The school is a
component of the University Academy Health Center,
which also contains schools of Medicine, Pharmacy,
Nursing, and Public Health. The School of Dentistry
offers postgraduate training in the dental specialties
and has a dental hygiene program.
