About the Pre-Dentistry Program
Arcadia University offers many programs that satisfy the course requirements for admission to schools of medicine, dentistry, osteopathy, optometry, podiatry and other health-related fields. While pre-dentistry students usually major in Biology or Chemistry, dental schools will accept students with excellent records regardless of major, provided they have a solid foundation in the basic sciences and mathematics. The Pre-Health advisers assist students with the application process and choice of schools.
