Students may earn a Bachelor of Science with a major in Biology or a Bachelor of Arts with a major in Chemistry. In addition to the basic science courses required of all dental school applicants, 7-Year Program students must meet the requirements of their major and the University Core Curriculum. This includes coursework in speech, English, mathematics, religious studies, philosophy, history and culture, ethics and social responsibility. Please consult with an advisor to ensure all degree requirements are met with coursework.  They also participate in a mandatory two-week orientation to dentistry in the summer after the first year and two courses at the dental school in year three.  Students may choose to major in Biology or Chemistry for this program.
