Application Services

ADEA AADSAS

The ADEA AADSAS^® (ADEA Associated American Dental Schools Application Service) is the centralized application service for all U.S. dental schools.* Dental school applicants benefit by being able to complete one standardized application. Dental schools benefit by receiving uniform information on all applicants.

ADEA DHCAS

The ADEA DHCAS^® (ADEA Dental Hygiene Centralized Application Service) is a common application service for use by dental hygiene applicants and programs at all levels. It is used to collect standardized information and distribute that information to select programs. ADEA DHCAS provides a secure, online platform for programs and applicants to access their data and track their progress while simultaneously providing customer service to applicants and programs by phone and email.

Individual dental hygiene programs maintain their own required application process, including the establishment of application prerequisites and requirements as well as making admissions decisions.
