===College of Medicine and Dentistry=== The '''Seton Hall College of Medicine and Dentistry '''was established in 1954 as the first medical school and dental school in New Jersey. It was located in [[Jersey City]], adjacent to the [[Jersey City Medical Center]], which was used for clinical education. Although the college, set up under the auspices of the [[Archdiocese of Newark]], was a separate legal entity from the university, it had an interlocking board of trustees. The first class was enrolled in 1956 and graduated in 1960. The dental school also awarded its first degrees in 1960. From 1960 to 1964, 348 individuals received an M.D. degree. The college was sold to the state of New Jersey in 1965 for $4 million after the archdiocese could not support mounting school debt<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.umdnj.edu/librweb/speccoll/SHCMD.html|title=Record Group RG/A Seton Hall College of Medicine and Dentistry 1946β1965|year=2007|work=SHU|access-date=2008-01-01|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080517171851/http://www.umdnj.edu/librweb/speccoll/SHCMD.html|archive-date=2008-05-17}}</ref> and renamed the New Jersey College of Medicine and Dentistry (which became the [[New Jersey Medical School]], part of the [[University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey]]).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.umdnj.edu/about/about03_history.htm |title=bout UMDNJ: History and Timeline |work=UMDNJ |year=2007 |access-date=2008-01-01 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716052832/http://www.umdnj.edu/about/about03_history.htm |archive-date=2011-07-16 }}</ref> That entity became part of the Rutgers University system in 2013 and now exists as the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.
