Every CODA-Accredited Program in Wisconsin

Reading the List: What Wisconsin's Accreditation Status Means
The status shown above is CODA's own term, not this site's. "Approval (without Reporting Requirements)" is the classification CODA grants when a program "achieves or exceeds the basic requirements for accreditation." By contrast, "Approval (with Reporting Requirements)" means CODA has identified specific deficiencies the program must correct within a set timeframe, and "Initial Accreditation" is what CODA grants a program that is accredited but has not yet enrolled and graduated its first class of residents.
The last- and next-visit years shown are CODA's own accreditation-visit schedule, not anything set by the program itself.
For admissions requirements, program structure, or cost, contact the program directly, and confirm its current status with CODA before applying.
Why Accreditation Matters for the Path Into Endodontics
Endodontics is one of 12 recognized dental specialties, and completing a CODA-accredited advanced dental education program in the specialty is how a dentist becomes an endodontist.
Wisconsin has one accredited program, compared with 1 in Minnesota, 2 in Michigan and 2 in Illinois nearby; wherever you train, our step-by-step guide to becoming an endodontist covers the full sequence from dental school through residency, our endodontist career guide what the role involves day to day, and which dental specialty pays the most how endodontics compares with the other eleven.
Graduates of the Marquette University School of Dentistry program who go on to practice in Wisconsin need a dentist license from the Wisconsin Dentistry Examining Board — see Wisconsin's dentist licensure requirements for the clinical exams it accepts and the rest of what it requires.
After Residency in Wisconsin
A CODA-accredited residency is the entry point into endodontics, not the final step — practicing afterward still requires holding an active dentist license in the state where you intend to work; in Wisconsin, endodontics is practiced under a dentist license rather than a separate specialty license.
Residents who train in Milwaukee and go on to practice in Wisconsin can search current endodontist jobs to see who's hiring now.
