Proof of Support:
There is no financial aid given to international students enrolled in the endodontics, orthodontics or periodontics programs. A letter of "proof of support" must be submitted when a student is accepted into a program. Applicants must establish that they have available financial resources sufficient to complete the program uninterrupted. All on-campus work-study employment for international students must be cleared by the individual program director and the University Office of International Students.
TOEFL:
Applicants graduated from a non-English speaking dental school, and for whom English is not their first language, must take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). We do accept a score reported from IELTS in lieu of a TOEFL score. In order to be admitted, the applicant must score above one of the following minimum scores:
| TEOFL Paper-Based Test: |

Generally the TOEFL is administered five times during the year in September, December, February, April, and June. If you plan to take TOEFL and do not have information on a location for your country, you can visit the TOEFL web site at: http://www.toefl.org.

Other Tests:We recommend that applicants to all our graduate programs take the National Dental
Board exams and score at least an 85 on both parts. In many cases, and especially in the case of foreign-trained applicants, people apply having not
taken this test. In this case, we require that they take another standardized test such as the GRE, though the most qualified candidates will have
taken the NDBE.
