Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had the dates Pitt Dental school starts/when breaks occur. I was trying to find the academic calender for the dental school on Pitt's website but can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks

Just went to the web site to browse around. Thanks for the link. Pitt's dental school is 39% women, slightly lower than average, and 57% of the student body is comprised of out-of-state students. Wow! Much, much larger than many other state dental schools.

Things may be trending this way. Especially in states like PA. Penn State, my alma mata, is presently the most costly in the U.S. for an in-state education. Recently read that less than 27% of costs at Penn State, most likely Pitt is close too, are funded by the state. Most funding is acquired from tution. Hence, more out-of-staters, higher revenue. Maybe the fact that PA has three dental schools also influences the number of out-of-staters. Good luck in school.

ive been going crazy trying to find an actual curriculum guide or something for pitt. The academic calendar was helpful, but anyone have an actual list of courses/order or courses, etc like some websites for case or nyu, etc have. I know the school will be doing systems based learning from next yr, but any kind of syllabus or etc would be helpful. Thanks!

Hey...I'm a first year and they did a little bit of moving around in the schedules for us. THey moved Dental Materials from Fall to Spring and I think occlusion from Spring to summer.

They also pickedu p a new class in Fall where they kind of introduce you to different aspects of dentistry.
