What the numbers say

LECOM conferred 106 dental degrees in 2024-25, IPEDS reports, a count for the college as a whole. ADEA AADSAS handles applications and, in the school's words, closes at the beginning of February; check the program's page and the ADEA AADSAS site for the exact date. Since the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations publishes no INBDE pass rates by school, the LECOM page has no board exam figure. The DAT is required, and LECOM says applicants in contention typically post an Academic Average of 19 or more on the previous scoring system, or 410 or more on the new system. Biology, inorganic or general chemistry and organic chemistry, each with laboratory work, sit on the prerequisite list beside biochemistry and English composition. The School of Dental Medicine teaches the DMD as a full-time program. A 2024 site visit preceded its current CODA status of Approval without Reporting Requirements, and the following review is planned for 2031. College Scorecard lists $154,262 as the median 1 year after completion for graduates of LECOM's dentistry program who finished in 2020-21 and 2021-22. Earlier completers from 2017-18 and 2018-19, graduates of the same field, show a College Scorecard median of $201,666 4 years after completion.
