About the College:
The UP
College of Dentistry was established as a Department of the UP
College of Medicine Surgery in Manila, on February 8, 1915 when
the Philippines was still a colony of the United States of
America.
There are
3 departments in the College: Basic Health Sciences, which takes
charge of all fundamental courses; Clinical Dental Health
Sciences, which is the hands-on patients phase; and Community
Dentistry which handles all social and community dentistry
courses. These departments make certain that the three-fold
institutional objectives are accomplished: students must become
scientifically knowledgeable, technically capable and socially
sensitive.
In
addition to the undergraduate course, the College of Dentistry
also offers graduate course in Orthodontics, the first Masters
of Science in Dentistry degree in the Philippines.
Location:
The UP
College of Dentistry is situated at the corner of Taft Avenue
and Pedro Gil Street, within the UP Manila Campus.
