Visit
Visiting campus is one of the best ways to experience Iowa Dentistry, but don't worry if you can't make the trip at the moment. We have virtual options as well. From in-person visit options, phone consultations, and virtual options, we're here to welcome you!
In-Person Visit Options
The best way to know if a dental school is for you is simply by visiting there. Visit and find out for yourself everything Iowa has to offer you!
Meet with a member of our admissions team followed by a student-led tour of the College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics to learn more about our Doctoral of Dental Surgery (DDS) program.
Enjoy a campus visit designed especially for high school students hosted by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. When selecting a date, be sure to ask for a tour of the College of Dentistry.
Dentistry is an exciting career and offers many unique opportunities to treat and engage with patients. The College of Dentistry welcomes school groups to learn the importance of maintaining oral health, and an exploration of the dental profession as a possible future career opportunity. All presentations are interactive and age appropriate.
Group visits are designed for student groups of 10-40, accompanied by adult chaperones.
