Pre-dental program
The admission requirements for dental schools are somewhat variable, so the student's program should be developed in consultation with a pre-dental adviser. Although most dental schools specify three years of undergraduate work as a minimum requirement, they generally give preference to students with four years of preparation, so it is advisable to pursue a disciplinary major program such as biology, chemistry or natural science.
Admission requirements common to dental schools, specify at least three years of college work, including two semesters each of biology, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physics and recommended electives in science and non-science areas.
Adequate performance on the national Dental Aptitude Test, usually taken after the second or third year of undergraduate study, is also a requirement.
