Dental School Required and Recommended Courses

Traditionally, dental schools expect applicants to have completed two semesters (three quarters) of biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry and physics—all with lab. Dental schools differ in terms of what additional classes are required, so students should be encouraged to thoroughly research each school where they are interested in applying for any additional prerequisites. This resource by ADEA AADSAS summarizes the most common prerequisites across all participating dental schools.
