Master of Science in Dentistry
The MSD in Oral Pathology is a non-certificate program for dentists and non-dentists who wish to receive additional graduate level training in oral pathology. The intent of the program is for students in the clinical specialties or non-dentists to gain additional experience in oral pathology. The program is designed to take approximately eight to eleven quarters which will vary according to the students' concurrent clinical specialty training. The program also provides initial training for those students who may elect to proceed to a Ph.D. program and/or an academic or research career.
Course Requirements
The student will take a minimum of 50 credit hours.
Research
The research requirement for this degree can be fulfilled by either a report on experimentation carried out by the student in one of the laboratories, or a case report with review of the literature. Students interested in a more research-intensive experience should consider enrolling in the M.S. in Oral Biology (thesis) program.
Teaching
Students are encouraged to take elective courses offered through the Medical Education and Graduate School which will help them in their teaching careers.
