Requirements

Pre-dental students can major in any discipline, but the core science courses (one year of Biology, two years of Chemistry, one year of Physics, one semester of Biochemistry) must be completed to attend dental school. That’s why Biochemistry, Biology and Chemistry are common majors for students who aim to head to dental school.

Some dental schools require additional courses, such as anatomy and physiology, microbiology and statistics; students should check the requirements for the schools to which they wish to apply and connect with their advisors to schedule their classes to meet these requirements.
