Program Information
This program has been planned especially for students expecting to enter the School of Dentistry at the University of Minnesota. However, this program also meets the needs of at least 90 percent of U.S. dental schools. Most entering dental students have a bachelor’s degree. Students planning to enter dental schools other than the University of Minnesota should consult the catalog of their chosen schools. A complete list of all dental schools in the United States as well as links to the specific programs can be found on the American Dental Association website. All pre-dentistry students are encouraged to consult with the advisor to help plan their program. In the Biology Department, most pre-dentistry students follow either the Allied Health option or the Cell and Molecular option. In the Chemistry Department, most pre-dentistry students choose the ACS Biochemistry option.
Students must take the Dental Admission Test no later than October of the academic year prior to the planned entrance date into the dental school of choice.
