Certain basic requirements must be fulfilled before one can be accepted to dental school. These requirements include eight hours of inorganic chemistry, eight hours of organic chemistry, eight hours of biology, eight hours of physics, and six hours of English. Some English composition must be included. All of the above science classes must include a laboratory. Dental school applicants must also pass the Dental Admission Test. Usually three to four years of college work is needed to pass.
Students should contact the CMU pre-dentistry advisor during the freshman year to develop a program of study. The choice of a major is not critical, but careful planning is needed if one is to move effectively towards being a successful dental school applicant.
