Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry (TUKSoD) offers a postgraduate opportunity for dentists who hold a BDS, DMD, or DDS degree from an international dental school not accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). This comprehensive program includes both clinical and didactic training, and the flexibility to attain an optional Master’s of Science (MS) degree in Oral Health Sciences.
Offered to internationally trained dentists, this is a tuition-based, one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) program. Residents in this one-year program also have the flexibility to pursue an optional second year of AEGD training and/or to earn an optional Master’s of Science (MS) degree in Oral Health Sciences.
Those interested in the optional MS degree must apply to both the first-year AEGD and MS programs concurrently. If accepted to both programs, the tuition for the MS degree program will be included in the AEGD tuition for the first year.
A first-year AEGD resident may choose to be considered for a second year AEGD with a letter of intent forwarded to the program director. Those enrolled in the MS degree program who are successfully admitted to a second year of AEGD will continue to have their Master’s degree tuition included in the AEGD program tuition. Those who either do not apply for, or are not accepted into the second year AEGD may complete their MS degree (approximately 3.0 credits) at the published per credit rate.
