CurriculumAs suggested by the school’s helix logo, biomedical, preclinical and clinical
science subjects are integrated and combined with applied behavioral
sciences in a program both to prepare graduates to provide excellentquality
dental care to the public and to enter a changing world that will
require them to be critical thinkers and lifelong learners. The 36-month
curriculum leading to the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery begins
in July and is divided into 12 quarters, each consisting of 10 weeks of
instruction, one week of examinations and a vacation period of varying
length (between one and four weeks). Students with research interests
and ability are encouraged to undertake projects under the guidance of
experienced faculty members. Student progress in the program is evaluated
by academic performance committees and carefully monitored by the
Academic Advisory Committees that serve to identify any problems (such
as undiagnosed learning disabilities) and recommend tutorial and other
support. The highest standards are maintained in preparation for National
Dental Examining Boards and licensure for practice. Very few students are
delayed in their progress toward graduation.
