Prerequisite Courses

Below we've linked websites that list common prerequisite courses for admission to dental school. Beside each link you will see a brief description of what you'll find using that resource.

This resource is the gold standard for exploring dental schools! Put together by the American Dental Education Association, this is a comprehensive directory guiding you through each dental school's prerequisite requirements, admissions statistics, and even lists email contact information for admissions directors/committees. Unfortunately right now this guide requires a $35 payment for one year of access.

Though a little outdated, this resource is a good starting point for understanding what prerequisite courses you should take leading up to your application timeline. The link will take you to a pdf with a chart of numerous dental schools and what courses they recommend or require along with additional information (if applicable) on the course requirements. Of course, check each school's current website for the most accurate information on recommended and required courses.
