Additional Requirements for International Students:
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: |
550 |

There is no financial aid given to international students enrolled in the M.S.D. 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.
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.
All materials that are not submitted through PASS should be sent to our office:
Office of Graduate Studies
Case School of Dental Medicine
10900 Euclid Avenue

Phone: 216-368-1168
Email: dentalgrad@case.edu
Early applications are recommended. Incomplete applications will not be sent to the program director for review.
