Hi Madison,

You find a list of common pre-requisites for dental schools under the link below. Since every dental school has slightly different pre-requisites, please make sure to find the required courses for the schools you plan to apply to.

I have also left a link to information about the dental admission test (DAT) below.

I am not sure which undergraduate program you will be doing. If it is Biobehavioral Nutrition and Wellness, you find the link to the curriculum also below.

If you compare, you'll find which classes satisfy the nutrition major as well as the dental school requirement and if you need to take any extra classes. You can also talk to your academic advisor about class choices.

I hope this helps! All the best to you!
