Finding the Best Advanced Dentistry & Oral Sciences Doctor's Degree School for You

With 176 degrees and certificates handed out in 2020-2021, advanced dentistry and oral sciences is the #20 most popular major in California.

It's not easy to decide which healthcare program to enroll in when you have so many options available. As online education oppotunities continue to grow, you're not restricted to just schools in your local area anymore. Even some of the 'big name' schools are offering online courses. Also, there are a number of trade schools with offerings that you might find attractive.

To assist you in seeing some of the education options that are available to you, Healthcare Degree Search has created its Best Value Advanced Dentistry & Oral Sciences Doctor's Degree Schools in California ranking. Our analysis looked at 3 schools in California to see which doctor's degree programs offered the best value experiences for dentistry and oral science students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

This ranking is not just a list of inexpensive schools. We also consider each school's quality, since we believe a low-quality school may not be a 'bargain' at any price. More specifically, we discount our quality score by the published tuition and fees charged by a school. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The value is determined by how much quality your dollar buys.

For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
