Actually, might be a typo, it's a DDSci and not a DDSc, not sure why they have the lower case ci in there, I would guess it was to distinguish the program between the DDS and the DDSci as mentioned earlier. Anyways, it seems like good programs if you can afford them. If they have partnerships like they do for the DBA and you can finish half the program with outside credits, I would go for them at half the price point... Furthermore, they have recently opened a campus in Toronto Canada!

You’re right, they list it as a DDSci not DDSc! I corrected my post.
