The Certificate Program
The Advanced Education Program in Orthodontics provides a comprehensive course
of study in clinical and didactic orthodontics. In addition, a publishable
paper on an approved orthodontic subject must be completed. Successful
completion of the curriculum fulfills all the educational requirements for
eligibility for the examination by the American Board of Orthodontics.
The Masters Degree Program
The School of Graduate Studies offers a Master of Science in Oral Biology degree
which may be taken in conjunction with the certificate curriculum. This joint
program gives the student more extensive experience in research and basic
science education and requires an in-depth original research project leading to
a defended thesis. If the applicant desires to concurrently pursue a Master of
Science in Oral Biology degree with the specialty program, the program length
could be approximately 6-12 months longer. Tuition is charged on a per hour
basis for the graduate courses taken. The applicant must be accepted by the
School of Graduate Studies and the Department of Oral Biology. Application to
the graduate program is made after acceptance to the certificate program.
A Ph.D. in Oral Biology may also be pursued concurrently with specialty
training. |
