This five-year DDS/MPH dual degree program, offered jointly with NYU College of Dentistry, combines dental surgery training with public health education to prepare graduates for leadership roles in global oral health policy and prevention initiatives. Upon completing this intensive program, you'll receive both a Doctor of Dental Surgery and Master of Public Health degree, opening doors to diverse career opportunities in either field. What makes this interdisciplinary program unique is its comprehensive curriculum drawing from NYU's prestigious graduate schools, covering subjects like international oral healthcare systems, health policy development, and sociocultural influences on health practices. The structured five-year plan begins with foundational DDS coursework in years one and two. During years three through five, students simultaneously complete MPH classes while continuing clinical training through a modified schedule. The program culminates with a Global Health Capstone project, where students apply their knowledge to real-world public health challenges.
