Description

The Pre-Dentistry Advising Program is a non-degree, pre-professional program that provides students with an opportunity to prepare for further dental school training after completing their undergraduate degree. Students take courses to prepare for the Dental Admissions Test (DAT) and coursework in dental school.

The College of Arts and Sciences offers advising non-degree programs for students who wish to pursue professional careers in a medical field, including medicine, osteopathy, dentistry, pharmacy and veterinary medicine. The curriculum in these pre-medical programs is designed to prepare students for advanced, professional study by providing a sound basis in biology and chemistry, physics and mathematics.

These advising programs meet the coursework requirements for admission to most medical schools, although admission requirements may differ per school. Students who wish to pursue a graduate medical program would be well advised to check carefully the admissions requirements of the professional schools they wish to enter. Students should also seek advice regularly from their faculty advisors.

Admission Requirements

Students must be admitted to a bachelor's degree program in the College of Arts and Sciences to declare this non-degree advising program. Students who plan to pursue a bachelor's degree in biology or chemistry (both of which have their own pre-dentistry concentration), should not declare this program.
