Advanced education programs for specialty training in the areas of endodontics, general practice residency, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orofacial pain, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics and prosthodontics meet the accreditation requirements of the Commission on Dental Accreditation and meet the eligibility requirements of the respective specialty boards. The goal of each program is to develop well-trained clinicians capable of providing biologic, scientific, and knoweldge based patient care. Candidates seeking admission to these programs must hold a D.D.S. or D.M.D. degree or the foreign equivalent. Residents who complete the requirements of the program are awarded a specialty certifcate upon completion of the program. Detailed information about each program may be found in the links below.

Residents enrolled in the advanced education specialty programs of endodontics, orofacial pain, orthodontics, periodontics, and prosthodontics are dual enrolled in the Master of Science in Dentistry degree program. Residents enrolled in the advanced education specialty program of pediatric dentistry are given the option to dual enroll in the Master of Science in Dentistry degree program. The Master of Science in Dentistry degree is administered concurrently with the certificate program in the specialty program.
The School of Dentistry Office of Advanced Education provides administrative support for the program. The School of Dentistry Advanced Education Committee provides academic oversight of the program.
Students enrolled in advanced education programs are bound by the same rules and regulations that apply to other students of the School of Dentistry, and these guidelines are stated elsewhere in this catalog.
For the Advanced Dental Education programs, students must maintain a “B” average (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) overall Grade Point Average (GPA) at the end of each grading period (semester, trimester, etc.) during the program. An average below 3.0 places the student on academic probation. In most cases academic probation must be removed within one semester in order for the student to continue in the program. However, extenuating circumstances may allow an additional semester for removal of probation. If the overall GPA is not brought up to an overall “B” (3.0) average by that time, the student will be dismissed for academic reasons.
Inquiries should be directed to the Director of Advanced Education.
