Submit Applications to: Ms.
Debra Tischio-Bereski Introduction The Master of Science in Dentistry and Master of Dental Science programs provide advanced academic training for those students, enrolled in UMDNJ-New Jersey Dental School's graduate dental education specialty programs, who want to broaden their understanding of the biological sciences on which their clinical practice is based. These programs include core courses in Foundation of Oral Biology and Advanced Biomedical Science for Dentistry, as well as specialized courses in Oral Immunology, Microbiology, Metallic Systems in Dental Biomaterials Science, Polymeric Systems in Biomaterials Sciences and Scanning Electron Microscopy. All course work addresses issues specific to each dental specialty program, thereby, enriching the students' experience in their specialties. Students in the Master of Science in Dentistry program complete a hands-on research project, while students in the Master of Dental Science program complete an extensive literature review. DMD and DDS prepared individuals who are accepted into a UMDNJ-New Jersey Dental School graduate dental education specialty program will be able to apply to either of the Masters programs at the time of their application to the graduate dental specialty program or during the first year of that program. Students pursue either of the masters programs simultaneously with a UMDNJ-New Jersey Dental School graduate dental education specialty program, and can complete their chosen masters program within a two to three year time frame, either coterminous with the graduate dental specialty program or after one to three additional years. Admission Requirements:
US and Canadian students
Foreign Students

To accomplish this objective, each student completes a thirty-credit program comprising eighteen didactic credits and a twelve-credit thesis/research project. Core competencies for the Master of Science in Dentistry include developing skills in research:
The Master of Dental Science program is designed to give students a more in-depth understanding of the biological processes underlying their clinical specialty. The program is for students who want to learn to interpret the literature, and evaluate and criticize current practices. It is not intended for those students who want to pursue a research-based thesis project. The objective of the program is to enable the students to become critical thinkers and evaluators of best practices in dentistry. To accomplish these objectives, each student will have to complete a thirty-credit didactic program. Core competencies for the Master of Dental Science include:
Credit Requirements
Thesis Advisory Committee The thesis advisory committee consists of two members of the Oral biology Department, the mentor and the Program Director of the student's specialty program.
