in General Education, but specified
by some dental schools) for a total of
60 units. Each science course must
include laboratory.
The present trend among dental
schools is to require more than two
years of predental training including
a broad liberal arts background. Since
1971, three years of predental training
have been required by the University
of California, San Francisco and some
other dental schools. Additional organic
chemistry, quantitative chemical
analysis, elementary physical chemistry,
other zoology courses, and in
some cases a foreign language and
psychology are recommended or
required. Several schools require a
bachelor's degree for entrance. The
American Dental Association Aptitude
Test and evidence of physical fitness
and good moral character are usually
required. Many dental schools also
require a personal interview and some
administer additional tests. For other
information, see the predental advisor
and dental school catalogs.
Prelegal. Most fully accredited law
schools require a bachelor's degree for
admission. Since a prelegal program
providing a broad cultural background
is recommended by the law
schools, any baccalaureate major,
depending on the student's interest,
may be chosen from the university
offerings. (See Degree Programs, Majors
and Minors.) Law schools suggest
courses, but not necessarily a major,
in the follOWing: written and oral
English, American and English
constitutional history, world history,
accounting, business administration,
elementary logic, mathematics,
statistics, economics, political science,
philosophy, science and foreign
language. A score on the Law School
Admission Test (L.S.A.T.) is required
before students can be accepted into
law school. It is recommended that
the L.S.A.T. be taken no later than
December of the student's senior year.
In addition, most law schools require
a personal statement and letters of
recommendation that address
academic skills and preparation for
the study of law. For further information
consult a prelaw advisor and law
school catalogs.

schools of librarianship require a

major in any subject is acceptable.
A reading knowledge of at least one
modern foreign language is a requirement
for admission to most graduate
schools of librarianship; this requirement
is normally satisfied by the
successful completion of two college
years of the language. Also, many
schools now require a course in
mathematics or statistics. In addition,
a course in computer concepts is advisable.
Students considering librarianship
as a career should consult the
prelibrary program advisor in the
Henry Madden Library.
Preoptometry. California State University,
Fresno provides courses for the
completion of preprofessional requirements
of an optometry program. Most
professional schools require junior
standing and coursework that includes
two years of biology, one year
of chemistry, mathematics, physics
and English, and one semester of
psychology and statistics with aboveaverage
scholarship. For further
information, see optometry school
catalogs and consult the preoptometry
advisor in the Department of Physics.
The Optometry Admission Testing
Program (OAT) exam is required before
application can be made to optometry
school. Application should be made
one year in advance of anticipated
enrollment.

(prepharmacy) of a six-year pharmacy
