M.S. in Orthodontics

As Wisconsin’s only dental school, we offer you the most advanced clinical resources and instructional technology available. Every step you take in our program will be guided by faculty and practicing professionals who uphold Marquette’s vision: to train highly skilled oral health care practitioners to bring top-quality dental care to urban and rural communities across the country — and around the world. We’ll prepare you to enter practice immediately upon graduation.

The Orthodontics master's program is a 26.5-month program. Students must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours of course work, including appropriate credit hours in clinical practice per academic year and six credit hours of thesis work. The remaining credits are divided among courses specific to the specialty discipline and elective courses.

As Wisconsin's only dental school, the Marquette University School of Dentistry is answering the call to meet future workforce needs, increase access to oral health for underserved patients and advance dental education in Wisconsin. The key elements to our success are expanding clinical space, promoting technology, expanding student capacity, and retaining and recruiting quality faculty.

Marquette is well-known for its innovative curriculum and has recently built a 4,000 ft research laboratory which includes three clinical research operatories. This research space houses a highly active research group looking to collaborate with MUSOD faculty interested in oral tissue regeneration, oral microbiology and clinical trials research. The school is serving the community on its main campus and in community-based clinics in Milwaukee and through outreach clinics across the State of Wisconsin.
