Abstract
In the initial rush to enter the computer age, many institutions and individuals have purchased microcomputers. By far the greatest professional use of these systems has been word processing, budgetary management, and database management. This article describes a curriculum management system for a College of Dentistry developed for a microcomputer that uses a commercially available relational data base. The application can be duplicated using generally available microcomputer hardware of sufficient capability and a relational data base with an appropriate capacity. Academic Deans and Curriculum Committees in health professions' schools may find the system a great aid in organizing and monitoring their curricula.
