Tuition and fees are subject to change without notice. This amount is payable in 2 equal installments in August and January of each academic year. Dental students do not pay tuition in the summer semester.

Tuition costs at the University of Florida College of Dentistry are comparatively modest for Florida resident DMD students. The chart above compares UF dental school tuition by year of dental school with the average tuition for state residents and non-residents enrolled at all US dental schools. UF offers an outstanding value to its DMD students by providing a high quality educational experience at a very reasonable cost.

Health Insurance: All students in the DMD program are required to be covered under a comprehensive health insurance policy either through their parents' insurance or their own policy. A group health policy is available to UF students through the University of Florida Student Government.

Computer Policy: All UF students are required to have access to a computer and the Internet. No specific type of computer is required, so long as it meets the specifications spelled out in the UF computer policy guidelines.

Instrument Leasing: Dental students lease instruments from the college for their use in the instructional program. Leased instruments are sterilized, maintained, repaired and replaced under reasonable use as part of the leasing program. Students pay an instrument lease fee each semester which is included in financial aid calculations.

Cost of living: Fortunately, the cost of living, including housing, food and transportation cost in Gainesville, Florida is comparatively low. This reduces the total costs of education to Florida dental students when compared with other metropolitan areas.

Bottom Line: For 2007-08, the total cost of attendance (rent, meals, clothing, transportation, tuition, textbooks, instruments, computer, etc.) for the University of Florida College of Dentistry DMD program is just over $44,000/year for residents of the state of Florida.
