Cost of Attendance: $420,069
Estimate repayment

Estimated loan burden for MUSD using 4 years of in-state tuition, $1,500 annual fees, $3,000 monthly living expenses, government-derived local cost-of-living adjustment, $1,000 loan fees, and an 8.5% interest assumption.

Cost of Living: Near national average cost of living

Milwaukee, WI is close to the national average for cost of living. In the debt estimate, the government-derived local cost adjustment keeps the $3,000 monthly allowance at about $2,910 per month. Treat this as a city-level budgeting estimate, not the school's official cost of attendance.

Environment: Urban

Nestled in an area with excellent walkability and strong biking infrastructure, MUSD offers students flexibility in how they get around. Whether on foot or bike, most destinations are easily accessible, making for a convenient daily routine.

About the School

The School of Dentistry has been a significant provider of oral health care to patients, and an excellent clinically based dental education to dental students for over 100 years. We are committed to providing the best comprehensive oral health care to our patients in a "patient centered" environment, whether it is at our main clinic site or in any outreach site that our students and faculty provide care. We are also committed to providing our students with an integrated, patient based dental education that focuses on clinical excellence and reflects current knowledge, research and practice of dentistry.

Curriculum

Because our curriculum is centered in the Catholic, Jesuit belief that the classroom is not the real world, you`ll bring your skills to life as you work with actual patients. One-fourth of your academic career will be dedicated to treating patients at urban and rural clinical sites affiliated with Marquette University. Beginning your freshman year, you`ll do rounds with faculty once a week and participate in small group learning. Juniors and seniors also do once-a-semester formal presentations. We`ve also integrated practice management into our curriculum. Professional dentists will teach you the business side of dentistry and how to be a good businessperson.

Facilities

Our beautiful 120,000-square-foot dental school and clinic - Wisconsin`s only - offers the most advanced clinical resources and instructional technology available, supporting a dramatically different, one-of-a kind curriculum developed by our faculty to better prepare students for dental practice and patient care.
