Bachelor of Arts/Doctor of Dental Surgery

NYU College of Dentistry offers a seven-year combined degree program in dental education with the NYU College of Arts and Science and Adelphi University. The program is designed for strongly motivated high school graduates whose primary goal is dentistry, successful participation in the program leads to the Bachelor of Arts and Doctor of Dental Surgery degrees.

The first three years are spent primarily at the undergraduate institution and the remaining four at NYU Dentistry. The curriculum emphasizes behavioral and social sciences in order to meet the need for patient-oriented, broadly educated dental health professionals.

Candidates for the BA/DDS Program are expected to have outstanding high school records reflecting strong aptitude for advanced study. Candidates apply directly to the undergraduate institution.

Once accepted, students must maintain an honors grade point average in the undergraduate institution, meet the college's requirements for the baccalaureate degree, and satisfy admissions requirements of NYU Dentistry. Students are also expected to score well on the Dental Admissions Test, taken in October of the third year. Students will be interviewed by the Admissions Committee at NYU Dentistry before being formally notified of acceptance.
