Pre-Dentistry

Dental schools typically require students to have a minimum of three years of post-secondary education including courses in chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, and physics. All dental schools require students to take the Dental Admission Test (DAT). The State of North Dakota has agreements with a number of dentistry schools reserving openings for North Dakota residents, and the state pays a portion of the tuition. Students planning to seek tuition support from North Dakota for out-of-state schools should notify both the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education and their Dickinson State University advisor. Contact the Department of Natural Sciences for specific curriculum.
