Patricia Cobb, Senior Student Services Coordinator, Student Academic Services, Pre-dental Advisor

Students wishing to become dentists should consult the advisor early in their undergraduate career for help in planning a program. Later, the advisor also can assist students in applying to schools of dentistry.

Most schools of dentistry require a minimum of three years of undergraduate work. Pre-dental students who decide to become degree candidates must fulfill all degree requirements.

The 90 credits required for admission to most schools of dentistry include the following courses: 1 year of English; 2 - 2 1/2 years of chemistry, including inorganic and organic chemistry; 1 year of biology (more is advised); 1 year of physics. Most dental schools require mathematics at least through precalculus. All science courses must include laboratory work.

Students must achieve satisfactory scores on the Dental Admission Test (DAT). The advisor can provide information regarding the administration of this test. In addition, students are advised to take elective credits to ensure a broad liberal education.
