TOEFL Requirement Instructions

Applicants whose native language is not English are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a score at or above the minimum of 79 (internet-based). TOEFL scores must be obtained within two years of the start of the program. TOEFL scores of 90 or better are considered competitive by the Admissions Committee. You must make arrangements to submit official TOEFL scores to ADEA CAAPID®. TOEFL submission instructions are located online. Note: IDP interview dates have no bearing on TOEFL score timeframes. We adhere to program start date to determine TOEFL score timeframes. Note: Other dental schools may have a different TOEFL policy. Please be sure to consult with each specific school you apply to for their individual TOEFL policy. Note: Our program does not accept the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam to meet our English language proficiency requirement.

National Board Requirement Instructions

The program requires passage of NBDE Part I and II if scores are not more than three years old, or the Integrated NBDE (INBDE) to be considered for admission. Applicants who have passed NBDE Part II or INBDE will be given preference for admission. You must make arrangements to submit official NBDE or INBDE scores to ADEA CAAPID. You must self-report NBDE or INBDE scores in the ADEA CAAPID portal. The Committee will not know if you passed NBDE Part I and Part II or the INBDE in your online ADEA CAAPID application if you don’t self-report and submit official NBDE or INBDE scores.
