Due to a decline nationally of dental school applicants from the late 1970s to 1987, Georgetown decided to do away with the program completely by 1990. This was probably their last graduating class. What's that, about 18 years now?

There were quite a few fine dental schools which closed at that time including: Northwestern, Emory, Washington U., Fairleigh Dickinson, Oral Roberts U. and Loyola. Can't think of any others.

I have this uneasy feeling that next time there is downturn in dentistry that some of the schools will close. The current increase in applicants and appreciation of dentistry may not be here to stay. Another thing is the ever increasing cost of dental education may turn people away from dentistry. This and other potential factors may conspire to cause another down turn.

How BA would it to be a dentist who went to Oral Roberts?
