This profile is the Advanced Standing (international) pathway.

It is for dentists who already earned a dental degree outside the U.S. and apply through ADEA CAAPID. It is not the four-year predoctoral program, and it is not a residency. See the same school's four-year DDS/DMD profile

What this program is known for

Every line below is read from a published record — the program's own entry or its admissions page. No acceptance rates or average scores appear here, because no board publishes them per program.

Who they prefer
  • Hands are weighted as heavily as paperwork here — a bench test is part of selection, so preparation has to include a practical station, not just exams.

  • Exams they list as required: NBDE, INBDE, TOEFL.

    Official ADEA CAAPID record
  • Credentials are only accepted through Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE), World Education Services (WES) — an evaluation from anyone else does not count.

The pattern
  • Small cohort — 5 (estimate) seats, below the typical Advanced Standing class, so competition per seat runs high.

    Official ADEA CAAPID record
  • Shorter than most: 24 months to the degree, which cuts both time and total tuition compared with the typical program.

  • Later deadline than most (August 1, 2026) — useful as a second-wave application if an exam retake pushes your timeline.

Cost of attending

This program does not publish a tuition figure in the CAAPID directory, and we refuse to print a guess next to a number as consequential as this one. Tuition, instrument kits, fees and living costs in Hawthorne change every cycle.

Open the cost-of-attendance page on the program's own site for the current figure, and budget separately for the 24 months you will be enrolled.
