UCSF and the School of Dentistry attach importance to creating a culture and environment that promotes student engagement and offers all students an opportunity to be involved in its quality systems. The school is committed to working in partnership with its students in order to enhance all aspects of the student experience. Accordingly, our courses (as listed below) and curriculum are subject to continuous quality improvement and may change in response to feedback and learner needs.

Advanced Standing Statement for the two-year pathway (22-23 Academic Year): Holding a dental degree from a foreign institution and having passed National Dental Board Exams Part I and II or INDBE, will exempt students from courses that are taken in the year 1 and year 2 of the DDS degree.

Advanced Standing Statement for the three-year pathway: Holding a dental degree from a foreign institution will exempt students from courses that are taken in the year 1 of the DDS degree.

*Courses without corresponding units are multiple-quarter courses with the grade awarded in the final quarter.
