CurriculumThe primary objective of the curriculum is to educate individuals for the
practice of general dentistry.
Specific objectives are:
1. To provide comprehensive predoctoral dental education such that
the dental graduate will be competent in the prevention, diagnosis
and treatment of oral diseases and disorders and
2. To inculcate in our graduates the highest standards of ethical and
moral responsibility to the dental profession and to the communities
they serve.
The foundation courses in the basic biomedical sciences are taught during
the first two years followed by clinical courses and clinical experiences in
the next two years. However, throughout the four years, the basic science
and clinical science curriculum are integrated to prepare the students to
be outstanding clinicians.
Student research opportunities: Students participate during the summer
in our research lab or at other institutions such as The Johns Hopkins
University.
They also compete and present scientific research projects nationally.
