    Student Testimonial

    “The Postbaccalaureate Program allowed me to strengthen all academic facets of my dental application whilst providing me with a basic understanding of the dental sciences.

    The curriculum afforded me the confidence that I now possess to be a competitive dental student both academically and clinically, an invaluable feeling as I approached my first year of dental school.”
