A partial list of recommended elective courses includes history, sociology, psychology, philosophy, computer science, foreign language, advanced English, fine arts and selected advanced courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics and biology. Applications for admission to advanced standing in the University of Mississippi School of Dentistry are considered by the Admissions Committee. The applicant is required to submit evidence of withdrawal in good standing from the dental school previously attended and a validated transcript of the work completed at the school. Because of curriculum differences, transfer positions are extremely limited. If an applicant applies after the second year, National Dental Board Examinations Part I is required.
Advanced standing is defined as any quarter subsequent to the first quarter of the first year.
Applications must be received by December 1 to be considered for admission in the same year. No student will be admitted to advanced standing if there is a condition or failure in any subject or if the applicant is not in good standing at the dental school from which the transfer is requested. A deposit is required of each applicant accepted for admission to the School of Dentistry. This deposit must be received within 15 days after the date of notification that the applicant has been accepted. Failure to make the required deposit within the specified period will automatically void the admission of the applicant.
