Endodontics Application and Admission Policies

Applicants must be graduates from institutions in the United States or Canada accredited by the ADA Commission on Dental Accreditation, or a foreign dental school of equivalent educational background and standing as determined by the admissions committee. An ECE evaluation of the foreign dental school transcript and the original transcript must be supplied. A TOEFL test with a score of 100 is required for graduates of foreign dental schools. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.  

The program is currently limited to three students entering each year. It is preferable that applicants rank in the top 25% of their graduating class and have had a minimum of one year of private practice experience or its equivalent (general practice residency, military service, etc.).

Applicants must plan to attend the program on a full-time basis.

Detroit Mercy Dental is committed to accepting applicants from a broad base of backgrounds. Guided by our mission as a Jesuit and Mercy institution and in alignment with the values of social justice and equity, our vision includes recruiting individuals from educationally and economically disadvantaged populations, as defined by HRSA (Health Resources and Services Administration).
