Pre-Dentistry
An Arts and Sciences A.A. Degree Program (Transfer)
APPLICATION CODE 51
For Curriculum Information Contact the Science and Technology
Division—Room ST-248—410-772-4827

Dentists are important health professionals who are employed in a
variety of settings including privately owned practices, group practices,
and government or industrial facilities. This program is designed to
prepare students who plan to apply for admission to dental school.
Students who have not already earned a B.S. or B.A. will apply to
dental school after transferring to a four-year college or university. In
many colleges, students must choose a major other than pre-dentistry.
Students often select a major which will provide an alternative career
route should they change their occupational plans. The pre-dentistry
curriculum prepares students for both dental school as well as for
bachelor’s degrees in the life sciences, chemistry, or related fields.
Pre-dentistry students should obtain a copy of admissions requirements
for U.S. and Canadian dental schools available through the American
Association of Dental Schools, 1625 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington,
D.C. 20036.
