Application Process
Please refer to the D.D.S. & M.P.H. "How to Apply" section of the Indiana University School of Dentistry (IUSD) website for a comprehensive description of the admissions process and procedures for the D.D.S. & M.P.H. dual degree program.
Indiana University School of Dentistry and Indiana Univeristy Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health jointly offer a dual degree program that allows students to earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) and a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) in about five years.
The D.D.S. & M.P.H. coordinated curriculum allows you to begin working toward the M.P.H. degree during your third year in the D.D.S. program. Some of the D.D.S. program coursework will count toward the M.P.H. degree. Students must meet the admission requirements of both programs and apply to each separately. Students should plan to apply to the M.P.H. program during the spring semester of your second year in the D.D.S. program.
