The BS/DDS combined-degree program is a seven-year program developed with several colleges across New York State. Designed for individuals who have a clear career focus prior to entering college, the program allows students to complete both a bachelor's degree and a doctor of dental surgery degree in seven years.
The UB School of Dental Medicine has Combined Degree Programs with the following schools:
Canisius College
LeMoyne College
Niagara University
University at Buffalo
SUNY Fredonia
SUNY Geneseo
St. Bonaventure University
St. Lawrence University
Utica College of Syracuse University
Students complete the first three years of the program at the undergraduate institution and the last four years at the School of Dental Medicine. The BS degree is awarded by the participating undergraduate school upon the completion of the first year of dental school. To allow for the completion of the bachelor's degree, participants must major in either biology or chemistry. Students apply to the BS/DDS combined-degree program through the participating undergraduate school.
For detailed information about admission requirements, application procedures, and program requirements, contact the participating undergraduate institution.
