Introduction
As a pre-dental student, you will follow the Lindenwood curriculum for either a bachelor of science degree in biological science or a bachelor of science degree in chemistry with an emphasis in biochemistry.
Either of these degrees will get you the prerequisite coursework that you need to be a good candidate for application to a dental school. These courses include:
- General Chemistry at least 2 semesters (with laboratories)
- General Biology at least 2 semesters (with laboratories)
- Organic Chemistry - 2 semesters (with laboratories)
- General Physics - 2 semesters (with laboratories)
- English Reading and Composition - 2 semesters
- Students must also complete an entrance test (MCAT, GRE, DAT or OAT)
It is generally recommended that as you complete the degree, if you have specific dental schools in mind, you should work with your major advisor to make sure that you complete any specific courses that are required by that school.

The majority of the health professions schools expect the student to have successfully completed the following courses, preferably at a four-year college or university:
- English: two semesters
- General Chemistry with lab: two semesters
- General Biology with lab: two semesters
- Physics: two semesters
- Organic Chemistry: two semesters
Students must also complete an entrance test (MCAT, GRE, DAT or OAT).
Many health professions schools require or strongly recommend other courses such as biochemistry, cell/molecular biology, genetics, microbiology, statistics, calculus, humanities, fine arts, and social science. Students who want to prepare themselves for admission to one of these professional programs should meet with a biology or chemistry advisor before planning their first-semester schedule.
