The deadline for receipt of all material is normally October 1 in any given year for admission the following year. The University of Alberta Graduate Orthodontic Programme is one of five that is presently operating in Canada. Our program has been operating since 1970 and in 1995 increased the graduate students from two to three per year, and has produced two graduate Orthodontists every year. Graduates are practicing across Canada, as well as the United States and Australia. As with many graduate programmes, the admission to the program is very competitive.
Applications far outnumber the three positions available.
Application deadline is October 1st for consideration for the subsequent years class. This cost includes equipment, books and tuition. Competitive scholarships and limited teaching positions in the third year are available. Interviews of the top rank ordered candidates are scheduled for early November with the offer being tendered in mid-November for the following years' class. There is a modest stipend paid to each graduate student.
