Dentistry

A Bachelor's degree, either BA or BS, is expected for acceptance into dental school. Students may major in any subject, but the most common majors are Biological Sciences, Biochemistry or Chemistry due to the overlap between the degree requirements and entrance requirements for dental school. It is not possible to earn a degree in "pre-dentistry". All courses listed below must be completed prior to matriculation to the School of Dentistry, but it is not necessary to have completed all the courses listed prior to submitting an application for admission.

In addition, courses in genetics, immunology, and medical terminology are strongly recommended but not required.

All required predental courses must have letter grades; no courses taken on a Pass/Fail basis are accepted and credit by exam (such as AP or IB credit) is not accepted. Students interested in predental coursework at IU South Bend should contact the pre-health professions advisor, Dr. Ann Grens, in the Department of Biological Sciences, soon after admission to IU South Bend to discuss an appropriate degree program. Send e-mail to agrens@iusb.edu or call (574) 520-4426.

The IU School of Dentistry sets admission and degree requirements for its programs; students seeking admission should refer to their website, www.dentistry.iu.edu for additional information.
