Acceptance into the accelerated dental program is based on the educational and faculty personnel needs of the School of Dentistry. Applications received by the Office of Academic Administration will be reviewed based on potential part-time faculty positions available for the next academic year.

If a position is available, completed applications will be forwarded to specific educational divisions for review. The division chair is responsible for the review and selection of potential candidates. The interview process for potential candidates is coordinated by the specific division chairperson and the director of the Accelerated Dental Program.

If a department is interested in recruiting and hiring an Accelerated Dental candidate, that recommendation will be forwarded to the academic dean. The dean will make the final determination if a candidate is eligible for the Accelerated Dental Program.
