Pre-Dentistry Track for Chemistry Majors
This information is intended to serve as a guide only and is not a degree program by itself.
Students pursuing Bachelor of Science degrees in Chemistry may be interested in a track leading to careers in dentistry. The following courses with electives totaling over 90 semester hours are designed to meet the requirements for entrance to most schools of dentistry, or other health professions. Since there may be some differences in admission requirements, students are advised to know the requirements of the schools they expect to attend.
The following courses should be taken as part of the University College Curriculum:
- MATH 129* Pre-Calculus I
- MATH 130* Pre-Calculus II
- BIOL 150 Principles of Biology
- ZOOL 200 General Zoology
*MATH 129 and MATH 130 are required, but profile examination scores may indicate that MATH 121 must be completed as prerequisite to MATH 129.
These courses are strongly recommended for entrance in most schools of dentistry:
- BIOL 200 Cellular Biology
- BOTN 210 General Botany
- CHEM 141 And CHEM 142 General Chemistry I
- CHEM 161 And CHEM 162 General Chemistry II
- CHEM 223 And CHEM 224 Organic Chemistry I
- CHEM 225 And CHEM 226 Organic Chemistry II
- MATH 142 Calculus with Analytic Geometry I
- PHYS 111 General Physics I or Physics 121
- PHYS 112 General Physics II or Physics 122
- PHYS 113 General Physics III or Physics 123
- ZOOL 370 Vertebrate Physiology
- Foreign Language Sequence, 6 hours
Electives should include courses in areas such as psychology, sociology, economics, embryology, humanities, comparative anatomy, genetics, biochemistry, and advanced physics. Pre-dentistry students should take ART 231 as one of their electives. Pre-veterinary students are required to take one course in Nutrition (3 semester hours).
