Fees & Expenses

Applicants who are deemed acceptable by the Graduate Periodontics Admissions Committee are appointed for a personal interview. Applicants will be informed as to the decision of the Admissions Committee within two weeks of the interview. Upon written notification of acceptance into the program, the applicant must send a deposit fee of $1,500.00 within ten days or he/she automatically loses his/her reserved place. This deposit fee is applied to the first term tuition and is non-refundable should the applicant withdraw his/her acceptance at a later date.
