Do any of you know what will happen if a dental school loses its accreditation after you graduate? Will your license be revoked even though your school lost its accreditation after you received your degree?

No. Once you're free, it just means your school t-shirts will suck if they lose accreditation.

Thanks for clearing that up! Do you go to MWU-AZ by any chance?

Is MWU-AZ on the verge of losing its accreditation?

Btw, have any schools ever lost their accreditation? I know that in the past (early 90's especially) lots of schools shut down. But none of those closures were due to schools flat out being terrible and losing their accreditation, right?

I think Emory was.

Oh, I don't know I just thought he knew about going to a school that might lose accreditation because it was happening at his school. I sure hope that's not the case though. I love that school lol

😵 Oral Roberts University. How appropriately named for a dental school. What's next? Colgate University School of Dentistry?
