Penn Dental Medicine's four-year DMD program combines rigorous training in oral science and healthcare with customizable options that let students align their studies with career aspirations. As part of the University of Pennsylvania's 12-school network, the dental school benefits from its prime location and collaborative approach, fostering exceptional interdisciplinary learning across various fields. This environment cultivates dental excellence by nurturing each student's unique talents and professional development.
Penn Dental Medicine seeks DMD applicants with a broad and strong educational background, who will have completed a four-year degree program prior to matriculation.
A strong command of the English language is necessary for successful study at Penn. Applicants whose families do not speak English at home, or applicants who have not attended a high school or secondary school where the primary language of instruction is English, are asked to take the TOEFL, the Test of English as a Foreign Language, administered by the Educational Testing Service. In the event the TOEFL is not readily accessible, Penn will accept results from the IELTS, the International English Language Testing System.
