Thats not true. Most of the states now require a DDS from US accredited school. If you don't have DDS and working in CA for 5 years, you can move limited states only not all.
Check more details in this thread:

Does it give a DDS/DMD degree which is acceptable in all US states? If not then there will be limited states to work for.
Anyone considering it should do more research and share on this forum as well.
 
The school give a DDS, degree, acceptable in USA, and so far this school is only limited to work only in California. And after working 5 years in California I have the option another state, I need it to check their rules, but Im not interested another state. Where do you want to work? , So If you want to work in many states so this is not the right school for you. Was for me.

Just a FYI: for those that plan to practice somewhere other than California this would not be a good fit for you...
 
I read about this university some time ago. If I remember correctly back then, they preferred applicants who could speak Spanish. Not sure if this is still a requirement whether mentioned or not mentioned on the website.
 
The majority of the students are not spanish, the students are not spanish they take Spanish classes 3 months before the program started, the school provided that for them. And it mentioned now in the website.

Hello, I am interested in this program. Are you a staff of this school or a student from there?
I did read about this school few years ago and I tried to email them few times but they never respond me. Do they still seeking for Spanish speakers only?
When is the deadline for year 2015? Thank you.
 
Have you done IDP from there?

And after that we can practice only in California, Right?
Yes I did, and thats right you can only practice in California. But if you want to practice another state you have to work for 5 years in California first.

Hi, because they're already evaluated by the board. You can check the information in the dental board of California website in the meetings documents. Also I heard from a very good source that the program have a real chances to be closed because they don't complain with all the things that they suppose to correct 7 years ago. I'm crossing fingers about that, because it's my main first option for the IDP program

Hi Doc... omg...really?
that is very sad news..
this is my main first option too for IDP....so why the school told us they are fine with everything and it is just paper work to get approved in Dental board of cali... :(

Please be in touch..
Are you sure about August decision?
 
No, they're lying, of course they not going to tell you that they have a problem. And yes , I'm sure the dental board is going to publish the decision in August , they're already evaluate. I'm taking the part I in one month and I'm hoping they keep the acreditacion for another 7 years to apply there.

So, you still are in the very first step to apply... best of luck for part 1 dear.

I personally visited the school few weeks ago and talked to board of California as well. The things you mentioned does not seem correct to me according to info i received.

This is what i copy and paste here from dental board of california school. Most probably they will get approved.


On June 30, 2017, representatives of the Dental Board of California (Board) including Dr. Whitcher and the Executive Officer met with the University of DeLaSalle Bajio School of Dentistry (University) regarding their Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) approval and the future Board re-approval. The University has completed the first step of its CODA approval and foresees its final evaluation to be completed by Fall of 2017 with a decision following in 2018. Additionally, the school is simultaneously preparing the documentation for Board re-approval.
 
Yes, that document is regarding the request from LaSalle to CODA. They want the national acreditacion for the 4 years program. I really hope they get the renewal, don't get me wrong. I'm just anxious about that. We can discuss this topic and other thing if you want it. Would you like to give your email??
