What the numbers say

The College of Dentistry enrolled 93 students in the class of 2030, which entered in 2026, and IPEDS records 95 dental degrees conferred by UF in 2024-25. UF describes its Gainesville DMD as a 4-year program. UF's INBDE pass rate is not available, as the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations does not publish pass rates for individual schools. For the 2026-27 cycle, the ADEA AADSAS application, DAT scores and letters of evaluation are all due by October 1. DAT scores from a single test date must reach an Academic Average of 330 on the 3-digit scale, and other sections carry their own minimums. Prerequisites run to 6 semester hours of English and 8 each of biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry and physics, plus 3 each of upper-level microbiology and biochemistry. UF carries CODA's Approval without Reporting Requirements, set after a 2023 site visit, until a review due in 2030. Per College Scorecard, the 1 year after completion median sits at $120,615 for graduates of UF's dentistry program from the 2020-21 and 2021-22 cohorts. A College Scorecard median of $176,959 4 years after completion applies to graduates of the program who finished in 2017-18 and 2018-19.
