The minimum ttammg for dentistry is a six-year course-the first two years
(predental training) in a liberal ans college and the rem11ining four years (dental
training) at a school of dentistry.
The minimum predental program required by accredited dental schools is one
year each of English, inorganic chemistry, physics, and zoology; one semester of
organic• chemistry; and additional courses (usually elective in general education,
bur specified by some dental schools) co make a total of 60 units. Each science
course must include laboratory.
The trend among dental schools is to require more th:tn two years of predcntal
training including a broad liberal arts background. Additional science courses recommended
or required include a year com·se of organic chemistry instead of one
semester, quantitative chemical analysis, elementary physical chemistry, other zoology
courses, and io some cases a foreign language. Several schools require a bachelor's
degree for entrance. The applicant is usually required to take the American
Denra1 Association aptitude test lUld present evidence of physical fimess and good
moral character. Many dental schools also require a personal interview and some
administer additional tests. For other information, see the prcdcotal adviser and
dental school catalogs.
