Pre-Dentistry - Program of Study (2007-2008)
Willmar (76 Credits) - Education Plan

Students preparing to enter the University of MN School of Dentistry should complete the following prerequisite courses before transfer, however, students are not admitted to the professional program until after their senior year (or after 87 credits). A GPA of 2.5 is the minimum required for admission consideration.

Students completing a pre-dentistry degree should follow the A.A. program planner, including completing the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum. This may require delaying completion of prerequisites until after transfer. Students interested in the A.S. in Biological Sciences should consult that program.
