The
Premedical and Predental Major
Students may enter the University of Dayton as Premedical or Predental
majors. It is advantageous to do so because such students are...
- thereby enrolled in a First Year Orientation section which focuses on
the needs of students who intend to apply to a health professional school.
- assigned to an advisor who is a member of the Premedical Faculty
Committee.
- included in services provided by the Premedical Programs Office.
The Premedical and Predental majors are identical,
differing only in the stated intention of the student.
Curriculum of the
Premedical or Predental Major
The curriculum may be
characterized as an interdisciplinary science major with emphasis in Biology and
Chemistry.
In completing the degree requirements for the Bachelor of Science in
Premedicine or Predentistry, a student can meet all of the
entrance requirements for
the health professional school of their choice while still retaining the
greatest possible latitude in selecting science and non-science courses of
personal interest.
Other
Majors as Preparation for a Career in Health Care
Other majors, are also acceptable to
professional schools. Common choices are Biology, Chemistry, Engineering,
and Psychology, although health care professional schools will give equal
consideration to all candidates, independent of the students major. For

Dayton, click on the Other Majors link above. Information can be
