is it true that any major will do it if I want to get into Dental school?

Question

I hear that you can get into dental school with any major.
is this true?
what if I studied accounting? can I apply to dental school with a Bachelor degree in Accounting?
what are the specific classes required in order to get into dental school?

thank you for your answers

Answer 1

Yes it is true, as long as you take the pre-requisite courses that dental schools require (some examples: general physics, biochemistry, organic chemistry, calculus) and take the DAT you can go to dental school.

Answer 2

Yes -- any major will do. I once had a dentist with an undergraduate degree in Fine Arts. However, Dental Schools (like Medical Schools) will require that you take certain classes -- like Biology and Organic Chemistry. You can find the requirements on the web site of any dental school.

Answer 3

Dental Schools
