Periodontics Program Fees and Expenses
Applicants who are deemed acceptable by the Graduate Periodontics Admissions Committee are appointed for a personal interview. Applicants will be informed as to the decision of the Admissions Committee within two weeks of the interview. Upon written notification of acceptance into the program, the applicant must send a deposit fee of $2,500.00 within ten days or he/she automatically loses his/her reserved place. This deposit fee is applied to the first term tuition and is non-refundable should the applicant withdraw his/her acceptance at a later date.

Gainful Employment Disclosure
Occupational Employment Statistics
Standard Occupational Classification: 29.1021.00
Regulations of the US Department of Education (DOE) require institutions of higher education to disclose program cost, median loan debt, on-time completion rate, and (as available) graduate job placement information about non-degree certificate programs that prepare students for “gainful employment,” as a condition of receiving federal student aid under Title IV of the Higher Education Act. Pursuant to those regulations, Detroit Mercy Dental makes the following disclosures.
Because fewer than 10 students have been enrolled in this program in applicable years, DOE excuses Detroit Mercy Dental from disclosing (and urges that Detroit Mercy Dental should not disclose) median loan debt amounts and on-time completion rate information, in order to protect student privacy. See Gainful Employment FAQ.
Institutions must disclose job placement information only if they collect such information about graduates for another reason (for example, for accreditation purposes). Detroit Mercy Dental does not collect job placement information and so does not disclose it here.
