About 10 to 14 candidates are admitted to the entering class from other states. Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact the Office of Admissions and Student Affairs early in their undergraduate careers for guidance on admission requirements. The College desires applicants who have the prerequisite academic preparation to meet the challenges of a rigorous curriculum. In addition to earning a bachelor's degree, these individuals should complete courses in both science and non-science subject areas to increase their likelihood of success in the dental program. Although many applicants each year major in the biological and natural sciences, students who pursue studies in other majors also are invited to apply for admission.
Timing is always an important element in the application process.
