The Dentistry academic program for a given year begins with the Summer semester and ends with the Spring semester. The UMKC School of Dentistry consists of three main divisions.
Some professional programs include additional fees. Learn more about the fees associated with your specific program before calculating your final Cost of Attendance.
The four-year DDS program is a professional degree and considered graduate level for financial aid; therefore, students are classified as independent so parent information is not required on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
To estimate costs, contact Financial Aid or review Tuition and Fees on the Cashiers website.
The School of Dentistry offers several graduate programs such as AEGD, PERIO, ORTHO and ENDO. Students in these programs are considered independent; therefore, parent information is not required on the FAFSA.
Students enter the Dental Hygiene program during the last two years of their undergraduate career. Although students complete their degree on the Hospital Hill campus, they are still required to include parent information on the FAFSA.
Estimates are based on Dental Hygiene students enrolled in 16 credit hours per semester and living on campus.
