Dental Scholars Program With Example Curricula For MS And MBS

The Dental Scholars Program is designed for students interested in applying to U.S. dental schools. In contrast to post-baccalaureate coursework, the Dental Scholars Program leads to a graduate degree (Master of Science or Master of Biomedical Science) that can also be used as a qualification for other careers.

Additional advantages of the SGS-Newark Dental Scholar's Program include:

• Personal academic advising of all students

• Opportunity to take dental courses and be graded with Rutgers School of Dental Medicine students (some dental courses have limited enrollment)

• Obtain a Concentration in Oral Biology as part of the master's degree (MS or MBS)

• Complete degree in one year, or follow a less intense 3-4 semester program

• Even in non-thesis master's degree, students obtain research experience with dental or medical school faculty

• Personalized advice from the Office of Admissions at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine

• A guaranteed interview at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine by earning a 3.7 GPA after at least 20 credits and a DAT score of at least 20 Total Science and 20 Academic Average, or passage on National Boards (NBDE parts 1 and 2 or INBDE) on first take by BDS students.
