Prospective Students

MUSC Dental Clinic

Ready to take the next step in your dental journey? At the James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine, we’re preparing the next generation of leaders and providers to innovate the future of oral health.

Pre-dental students can explore below to learn about the four-year Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) degree program and application process. Future oral health researchers can find information on the Dental Scientist Training Program – an uncommon blend of academics and patient care offered at only a handful of institutions – which culminates in a dual D.M.D/Ph.D. degree.
