There is no preferred or required major for students who wish to attend dental school.
Dental schools seek to admit students from diverse educational backgrounds.
Although one particular major is not required, each dental school has a set of courses which are required as part of the undergraduate preparation for dental education. They may also include biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology. The required courses and Purdue Equivalents for Indiana University School of Dentistry are listed on a separate hand-out titled Indiana University School of Dentistry Requirements and Purdue Equivalents. Requirements for other dental schools may be found in Admission Requirements United States and Canadian Dental Schools . This book is available in the Biology Counseling Office, Lilly, Room 1-123.
