Course Prerequisites: ApplicantsPrerequisites

Applicants match courses to the school prerequisites

This tab may or may not be available, depending on the selections of each dental school. If it is available, applicants will be given a list of the school’s prerequisite course requirements and asked to designate which courses have been taken or are planned which fulfill the requirements. Applicants must first complete the Transcript Entry section before courses can be selected as prerequisites. ฀ Entering these courses does not mean an applicant has met the school’s prerequisite requirements. Instead, the school is asking applicants to self-identify courses for their review. If an applicant has any questions regarding what the program will accept regarding these prerequisites, please contact the program directly. ฀ Applicants can learn more about prerequisites required by each dental school in the 2017-2018 ADEA Official Guide to Dental Schools.
