The Marquette University School of Dentistry (Marquette SOD) offers an Advanced Standing program on a space-available basis. Each year, any vacancies in our second-year dental class are filled with foreign-trained dentists. Some years, Marquette SOD has no spaces available; other years, we have one or two spaces available. The first year is devoted to technical and theory courses, followed by two years of clinical and theory study. Upon completion, a student receives a D.D.S. degree.
