 BCD began in 1905 as State Dental College,
a private three-year dental school that initially
struggled to find investors, professors and
students. Today we are part of the The
Texas A&M University System Health Science
Center, our faculty is world-renowned
and our students are among the top dental graduates
in the nation.
Our oral health sciences education programs,
research, specialized patient care and continuing
dental education are nationally recognized.
We are also home to the highly acclaimed Caruth School
of Dental Hygiene, which celebrated
its 50th anniversary in 2005.
Centennial events were held throughout 2005. The
celebration began in January with Homecoming
2005, the Caruth
School of Dental Hygiene’s 50th Anniversary
Luncheon and the Centennial
Gala, held during the Southwest
Dental Conference.
Additional events occurred throughout the year,
including the Centennial
Convocation held at
the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center and
the Centennial
Celebration Picnic held at the
Baylor Tom Landry Fitness Center. Our
Centennial celebration officially concludes
May 4, 2006 with the dedication of a historical
marker to be located on the corner of Gaston
and Hall streets.
