IMO, any 1 year masters program in science is worthless.
I respectifully disagree. If one can enter any Post-Bac MBS programs and do well (getting all As), then any Post-Bac MBS programs will be effective when applying to dental or medical schools.
At NSUCDM, we have been accepting one or two applicants that has done the Barry Univ. MBS program and they are all great dental students. In reality, in these Post-Bac MBS programs, you ONLY want to do one year of it. These Post-Bac MBS programs are set up to be a two-year master degree programs, but your goal is to do well in the first year curriculum and get into a medical or dental school of your choice. Students only do the second years in these Post-Bac MBS programs because they did not do well in the first year and did not become competitive enough for dental or medical admission.
Rule of thumb, if you get anything below "B" in the first year in these Post-Bac MBS programs, then you've defeated the purpose of using these program to make yourself competitive.
Since majority of these Post-Bac MBS programs are private schools, plan on investing $30K for that one year. Hey, since you've fcuked up in undergrad and want to make yourself competitive for dental school, $30K is a small price to pay to redeem yourself.
Other great effective Post-Bac MBS programs for dental schools are:
Midwestern University (Arizona & Illinois)
Nova Southeastern University
