State Compacts Creighton University has dental education compacts with the states of Nevada, New Mexico, Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah. Residents from these states receive partial tuition remission. Application procedures for applicants from these states are the same as for all other applicants. Accepted residents of Nevada, New Mexico and Wyoming receive all their dental education at Creighton. The remaining three years are spent at Creighton.
Additional information is available from the program directors in each state.
The first-year programs at Idaho and Utah are equivalent to those at Creighton. Course outlines, objectives, laboratory projects, texts and teaching aids are nearly identical. Advanced Standing Students who have studied dentistry in another recognized school may be admitted to advanced standing, provided that they have passed satisfactorily the courses which they have taken and have satisfied the Committee on Admissions that the work they have had is the equivalent of that given in this School. Applicants with one or more years of formal dental education must make formal application and provide Dental Admission Tests scores, transcripts and letters of recommendation. In addition to the information demanded of applicants for admission into the first year, applicants for advanced standing must provide scores of Part I of the National Board examination if it has been completed and a letter from the Dean of the Dental School previously attended attesting that the applicant is in good standing and that he or she is eligible to return to the institution and complete the course of instruction.
