Majors  >  Pre-Dentistry

USAO has a designated pre-dental advisor who receives information concerning the entrance requirements of the dental colleges and who will help students plan their program for each trimester they are in college, regardless of what major they may choose.

The pre-dental student should secure approval of the pre-dental advisor each time the student enrolls. Although the various dental colleges do not have uniform entrance requirements, there is a great deal of similarity among them.

The pre-dental students can start their program before selecting a dental college. Although the student may choose any program of study for a major, most pre-dental students choose either a biology or chemistry major. These two majors provide the best preparation for the DAT (Dental Admission Test).
