CNU launches a professional graduate school program for training dentists from the academic year of 2005. Existing pre-dentistry department system was discontinued in 2003 and instead a four-year professional graduate school program (four-year undergraduate course+four-year professional graduate course) is introduced. For the 2005 academic year, the Dental Graduate School recruits 70 freshmen students. Under the new system, all college graduates will be able to enter the four-year professional dental course, after successfully passing the Dental Education Eligibility Test (DEET). Applications are being accepted through mailing (Oct. 18 27) and visiting (Oct. 28 29) at CNU

Through this regular admission program, over 56 freshmen students will be selected. CNU also provides a special admission program for its graduates and national examination passers such as National Law Exam, National Exam of Foreign Affairs Officials, National Exam of Administrative Officials, CPA exams, and patent attorney exams.
