The mission of the Health Professions Programs Office at CU Denver is to educate and challenge students interested in a future in the health professions to be leaders, visionaries and lifelong learners who will positively impact local, national, and global health on many levels.
The BA/BS-DDS degree program at the University of Colorado Denver and CU School of Dental Medicine at Anschutz Medical Campus aims to promote the diversity of dental professionals practicing dentistry in Colorado and to better serve the health care needs of the State of Colorado by assembling and educating 5 students each year from broadly diverse backgrounds.
This program has helped pave the way for the full opening of CU Denver programs to Kuwaiti students. The program presents an opportunity for Kuwaiti students to join an undergraduate pre-dentistry cohort with guaranteed seats in the CU Anschutz School of Dental Medicine.
