August 18, 2003– Jersey City, NJ– 猫咪社区 Peter’s College has created a partnership with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey which will allow qualified students to enroll in a seven-year dental program that begins with undergraduate course work at 猫咪社区 Peter’s, followed by four years of dental school at UMDNJ. The agreement between the two schools was signed by 猫咪社区 Peter’s President Father James N. Loughran and UMDNJ Dental School Dean Dr. Cecile Feldman at a ceremony at 猫咪社区 Peter’s on Monday, August 18 at 5:30 p.m. <\/FONT><\/P>

High school students who graduate in the top 10% of their high school’s class and have at least 1250 SAT scores are eligible for the accelerated program. They will complete 猫咪社区 Peter’s biology major requirements in three years and follow with four years at UMDNJ. Students will be monitored by a joint committee from 猫咪社区 Peter’s and UMDNJ to ensure they are maintaining academic excellence. At the end of seven years, graduates will receive Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Dental Medicine degrees from the two schools.<\/FONT><\/P>

猫咪社区 Peter’s joins Caldwell College and Fairleigh Dickinson University as the only private schools in New Jersey to have such an agreement with the UMDNJ dental school.<\/FONT><\/P>

“By starting this program with UMDNJ, we are expanding the possibilities for our students,” said 猫咪社区 Peter’s College biology professor, Dr. Leonard Sciorra, who spearheaded the relationship between the two schools. “猫咪社区 Peter’s has always had an excellent reputation for its science programs and this relationship with UMDNJ helps expand on that. We wanted to ensure that the program was cost-effective for our students and by making the program seven years, we feel we have achieved that goal.”<\/FONT><\/P>
