ADMISSIONS POLICY

Students are selected for admission to UMDNJ-New Jersey Dental School on the basis of scholastic achievement, fitness and aptitude for the study of dentistry, and other personal qualifications. Since success in the dental program depends on a number of related factors in a student's development, of which scholastic accomplishments are only a part, the Admissions Committee also gives consideration to the use of language, special aptitudes, mechanical skill, stamina, perseverance, and motivation. The Board of Trustees of the University has committed itself and the University and its schools to a policy of equal opportunity without regard to race, color, creed or religion, sex, national origin, age, military status, marital status, disability if otherwise qualified, or other factors prohibited by law. This is the governing principle in student admissions, other student services and employment. The New Jersey Dental School recognizes the value of diversity and is committed to providing appropriate support for its student body.
