IDP Curriculum

DDS Curriculum for Advanced Standing Learners: Courses by Level and Quarter

Our DDS curriculum is designed to evolve through continuous quality improvement, ensuring it meets the needs of our learners and the profession. Learners holding a dental degree from a foreign institution may enter through the International Dentist Pathway (IDP), a three-year advanced standing program that exempts them from Year 1 courses.

*Courses without listed units span multiple quarters, with grades awarded in the final quarter.
