Tuition & Projected Costs of Attendance: 4-Year DDS
Attending dental school is a significant time and financial commitment, but the Office of Student Services is here to help you figure out how to pay for your training at UCLA Dentistry, one of the top ranked dental schools in the country.
Please note that certain expenses listed, such as room and board, personal expenses, and transportation, vary depending on your living arrangements and lifestyle.
A major factor that influences a student’s overall budget is tuition, which varies depending on whether or not that student is a California resident or non-California resident. See what qualifies you as a California resident on the UCLA Registrar’s Office website.
