In addition to the Graduate College minimum requirements, applicants must meet the following program requirements: Students must meet the admission criteria of both programs and are admitted separately to each through their respective applications. All students should contact the MS CTS Program Coordinator who will explain the application process for MS CTS admission. Acceptance into the DMD/MS CTS Joint Degree Program requires approval by the DMD/MS CTS Joint Degree Committee. For students applying to both programs simultaneously, MS CTS admission will be contingent upon both admission to the DMD program and the support of the College of Dentistry director of graduate studies. Prior to admitting students into the MS CTS, HPA will check with COD to determine whether the student has been accepted into the DMD program. Admission to the MS CTS program will be determined based on the support of the College of Dentistry director of graduate studies, previous academic achievement, research potential, commitment to CTS as evidenced by prior participation in clinical research, and two letters of recommendation.
