BS in Pre-Dental

Few medical professions are as integral to the health and welfare of so many people as that dentists. Beyond helping keep teeth strong, gums healthy, and smiles wide, a dentist is also often on the front lines of disease prevention and detection. (After all, people who haven't seen a doctor in years are still likely to make one or two visits to the dentist annually.) Like most medical professions, it takes a great deal of training to become a dentist. Students can start that training now at MTSU.

There is no Pre Dental major at MTSU. We feel very strongly that students are better served completing a major of their choice while preparing for Dental School. As a result, we have Pre Dental students majoring in subjects all across campus, including Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology. All students work with advisors in the Pre Professional Health Science Advising Center to ensure that they are taking the recommended courses and getting appropriate extracurricular activities needed to be successful on the Dental Admissions Test and in Dental School.

Offering 300+ undergraduate and graduate degrees of study in diverse disciplines that prepare students for high-demand careers.

Many of our programs have earned national and, sometimes, international recognition for excellence. A highly-trained and dedicated group of faculty members not only prepare our students for their first job, but for careers that might not yet exist. Gaining a comprehensive education, instead of only specializing in one skill that could become less important a decade or two from now, that actually prepares students to handle diverse challenges of the job market.
