Northeast Ohio Medical University is seeking initial accreditation for the Bitonte College of Dentistry. The application to the Ohio Department of Higher Education was approved by the chancellor in July 2023. The application for initial accreditation to the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) is currently under review. The application to the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) is in progress.

While the University is announcing and making plans for the Bitonte College of Dentistry, students may not enroll prior to initial accreditation status as granted by CODA and the HLC. More about our accreditation.
