Master in Periodontics

Our program blends the knowledge and skills of basic, clinical, and behavioral sciences to prepare our students as competent, contemporary dentists. You’ll be immersed in a model of education that mimics dental practice. You’ll be challenged in a different way — to prepare you for what life will be like post-graduation. Our faculty and staff will help you manage the demands of this rigorous academic program (and have some fun, too).

The Advanced Education in Periodontics program is a 36-month program that provides a Master’s and a Certificate in Periodontics. The program provides training in four areas: didactic, clinical, research and teaching and is fully accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association. It also fulfills requirements for eligibility to the American Board of Periodontology.

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.
