Welcome
Indiana University School of
Dentistry offers the Master of Science in Dentistry (MSD) intended primarily for
students who have received the doctorate in dentistry and wish to go on to
obtain an adequate background in one of the various disciplines of dentistry or
of the allied basic sciences in order to broaden their dental background or to
complete the academic requirements for specialty boards. A one year
General Practice Residency (GPR) program and a four year Oral and Maxillofacial
Surgery certificate program are also available.
Students may register in IU's University Graduate School and work toward the
Master of Science (MS) degree in dental materials or preventive dentistry.
A Ph.D. in dental science (oral biology, preventive dentistry and dental
biomaterials tracks) is also available through IU's University Graduate School.
In addition, a combined Ph.D./D.D.S. program has been established incorporating
aspects of both programs.
The Graduate Education Office processes
applications to these programs. Once accepted into a graduate program, the
office maintains student records. In addition, the Graduate Education
Office serves as coordinator of intra-school and University-wide events, and
provides verification of graduation once a student has graduated from a graduate
program.
