Overview

Improve qualifications for admission to dental schools

The advanced Oral Health Sciences program at the University of Pennsylvania will give college graduates added preparation and guidance to more effectively compete for dental school admissions and/or enhance their qualifications for advancement in other health sciences related careers. The unique program is specifically designed for college graduates with a BS or BA degree who seek to apply to dental schools and desire to demonstrate academic potential through additional graduate level education to support that process.

The goal of the MOHS program is to improve qualifications for admission to dental schools and/or other health sciences related careers by enhancing academic knowledge in basic and clinical sciences, gaining exposure to clinical dental care, improving communication skills, and providing mentoring for the application process and Dental Admission Test (DAT).

Candidates for the MOHS program for college graduates must have completed all coursework for their undergraduate degrees. They may have previously applied to dental school or any other health profession program and seek to strengthen their preparation.
