College to open dental school
Lyon College, a private liberal arts college in Batesville, Arkansas, announced its new dental school will reside in Little Rock.
The Lyon College School of Dental Medicine will enroll its inaugural class in summer 2025 and welcome students in the fall. The dental school is pursuing accreditation with the ADA's Commission on Dental Accreditation, and in November 2022, the Higher Learning Commission Institutional Actions Council approved the college's request to offer a Doctor of Medical Dentistry professional degree. The college plans to open a veterinary school next year as well.
“As Lyon College continues to expand its academic offerings and strengthen its footprint as a leader in higher education, these new schools will play a vital role in shaping the future of healthcare in Arkansas and beyond,” said Victor Werley, Lyon College Board of Trustees chair.
