Finding the Best Advanced Dentistry & Oral Sciences School for You

Out of all the majors we analyze each year, advanced dentistry and oral sciences was ranked #24 in the country. In fact 1,775 degrees and certificates were handed out in 2020-2021.

With all the healthcare programs available today, it can be tough to choose which one is the best for you. You can choose a traditional brick and mortar school, or with the growth of online education, you can attend a school half-way across the country without even leaving your house. Also there are many trade schools that offer short-term programs that open up more career options.

Along with in-depth profiles of schools and the programs they offer, Healthcare Degree Search has created the Best Value Advanced Dentistry & Oral Sciences Schools in the Southeast Region to help you in your search for the best school for you. This report analyzed 13 schools in the Southeast Region to see which ones offered the best value programs for dentistry and oral science students. The goal was to highlight schools with more affordable prices than others offering similar quality experiences.

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. Specifically, our score for quality is discounted by the published tuition and fees charged by the given college. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The more quality your dollar buys, the better the value.

For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. For statewide rankings, we use average in-state tuition and fees.
