My brother is a Marquette Dentistry alum. He told me when he went there there was a dress code(shirt and tie), was wondering do they still do that or if anyone knows of other school that do that..
 
during orientation, Case's dress code was business casual that eventually became very casual. Now it is scrubs, and some people just where their hoodies over it during lecture. It is more strict when you're in the clinic tho.
 
no dress code at Columbia, although we have to wear a white coat or scrubs during dental anatomy lab and scrubs during anatomy lab.
 
Scrubs with a white shirt underneath at Pitt....technically we're supposed to wear our lab coats over them.

And if you don't feel like wearing scrubs, then it's business dress.
 
For UOP, when you go to school, you have to look professional. Something about Dr. Dugoni saying that a professional look breeds professional demeanor--something along those lines anyway. So basically, if you go there, stock up on nice clothing. No jeans allowed, no open-toed shoes, no sweats...
 
USC prefers students to wear scrubs at all times. If not, then professional student attire is required.....basically no jeans/tanks/sandals.
 
Nova requires different colored scrubs, each one distinguishing whether you are a D1, D2, D3 or D4.

That seems funny to me for some reason... Maybe its because I have only had three hours of sleep and just got out of 2 hr Pchem class.

I hope the most schools require scrubs...I love wearing scrubs, they are like pajamas.

yeah I'm a first year at UMDNJ and we wear color-coded scrubs too just like Nova...its actually nice...not to think about what to wear in the morning...=)
 
At BU it is important to look like a professional in clinic wheter you are treating a patient or not. So either scrubs (color of your choice) or professional dress (shirt and tie for men, and pants and dress shirts for women) are required. even if you are just talking to a professor on the clinic floor or doing lab work. White coat is optional, but highly recommended.
