Apply (Oral Biology PhD)

To apply, please submit all documents listed below.  Your application will not be complete until these items have been received and you have submitted your application for formal review.

• Please complete all questions on the application completely and accurately.
• You must select your desired entry term (i.e. Fall 2022) and intended program of study as you begin the application.
• The personal information section of the application provides special instructions for international applicants; be certain to following instructions on how to accurately enter your name.

• Once you have submitted your online application for review, you will be able to pay the application fee by credit/debit card. Your application cannot be reviewed until the fee has been paid. Please note that the $50 application fee is non-refundable.

• Two letters of recommendation and a Dean's letter (if graduated from a US or Canadian dental school), otherwise three letters of recommendation.
• Recommendation letters must be uploaded electronically by your recommenders.
• You will submit names, titles and email addresses for three recommenders. They will receive an email request to electronically submit a letter on your behalf.  The notification is traditionally sent to recommenders after the application is submitted for review.  However, you can opt to have the email requests sent immediately as you enter recommender names; this option is suggested for candidates who are applying close to the application deadline to ensure sufficient time for upload.

• If you are accepted into the program you will be asked to submit original transcripts with proper signatures, seals or stamps. Academic documents that are not in English must be accompanied by an exact, certified translation; ECE course-by-course report is preferred.  International applicants please include copy of certificate with proof of degree.

• The GRE is required for application to the MS programs in Biomaterials and Orthodontics.  The requirement is waived for applications to the Oral Biology PhD program in Fall 2022.

• Unofficial scores from the National Board of Dental Examination Part I and/or Part II; optional for all programs not using the PASS application.

In addition to the requirements listed above, please submit the following:

• All International applicants must complete and upload the UB financial form documenting all sources of anticipated educational support.  The upload option will appear in the applicant portal after application is submitted for review.

Note: Bank Statements are not required for application but they are required after acceptance for visa issuance; an I-20 cannot be issued without sufficient bank statements/financial documentation.
