Accreditation:

UNE submitted its application for initial accreditation for a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) program to the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) on April 1, 2011. A committee will determine whether or not a site visit will be granted. During the site visit, a team will travel to Maine to conduct an in-depth analysis of the plans of the DMD program and assess whether the plans for the proposed program demonstrate that it has the potential to meet the accreditation standards.
