Professional ProgramThe professional program provides D.D.S. students with the basic principles, practices, and concepts of prosthodontics required for the practice of general dentistry, through laboratory projects and treatment of patients with differing prosthodontic needs.Graduate ProgramsThe department offers a Master of Science in oral science and a Certificate in Prosthodontics. The primary purpose of the M.S. program is to train and prepare dentists for careers in prosthodontic education and/or research. The certificate program is designed primarily for individuals who want to prepare for private practice in prosthodontics. Both programs require 34 months of study and satisfy the educational requirements for eligibility to take the American Board of Prosthodontics examination.Master of ScienceStudents who wish to pursue a Master of Science in oral science enroll through the Graduate College. They must meet all the requirements for the master's degree as outlined in the Manual of Rules and Regulations of the Graduate College.Students complete a core curriculum, which includes basic sciences, research methodology, and a thesis based on the student's original research, with the aid of an advisor and thesis committee. In addition, students are required to satisfactorily complete an oral and/or written examination on their thesis and on prosthodontics. CertificateThe certificate program may provide more clinical experience than the M.S. program and does not require a thesis. Students must complete a core curriculum, which includes basic sciences, research methodology, and clinical practice--fixed, removable, maxillofacial, implant prosthodontics, and occlusion.AdmissionApplicants to either program must meet the admission requirements of the Graduate College.
