3. University of Michigan School of Dentistry
U of M is another public institution that represents a great value-for-money option for in-state applicants. At $30,112 per year, tuition fees are 18% less than the average of all other dental programs, and even out-of-state students pay only slightly above-average fees at $46,875 per year. The trade-off for lower pricing does come in the form of slightly larger-than-normal class sizes, with the program accepting about 105 students each year, about 24% more than the average dental school.
The school’s Victors for Dentistry scholarship program also offers an excellent opportunity for students in need of financial assistance to attend without being burdened down by loans and debt. Additionally, Michigan’s School of Dentistry is consistently on the frontline of research and training, with programs in cancer biology and therapeutics, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, craniofacial, skeletal biology disease, and many others.
