BS in Pre-Dentistry

Concordia University Chicago’s pre-dentistry program is not a major, but includes sequences of foundational and prerequisite courses for entry into graduate professional study in dentistry.

Students may choose any major, as long as they complete required courses for admission to dental school. However the suggested pathway is the Bachelor of Science in biology or health science, as these will cover the most prerequisites. Because graduate program prerequisites vary from institution to institution, students must check directly with them for exact clinical hours and admission criteria.
