The minimum requirement for admission is the baccalaureate degree or its equivalent from an accredited institution. D.M.D. students and post-doctoral (DMD) residents are common applicants. Oral Biology program applicants should have attained an overall grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 (on a 4-point scale) or higher during undergraduate education, and during graduate education (e.g., dental school), if applicable.

Individuals with a GPA between 2.75 and 3.0 may be accepted on a conditional basis, and will be considered as "on probation," as described by the University of Louisville Graduate School catalog. This means that if they do not receive GPA of 3.0 or greater during their first semester, they may be subject to dismissal. No student with a GPA less than 2.75 will be admitted.
