Pre-Dentistry

IMPORTANT: UCCS does not have a dental medicine program. Pre-Dentistry Prep is not a major or a minor, but a listing of prerequisite courses and recommendations needed to be eligible for admission to the CU School of Dental Medicine at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, CO.

• Students completing the pre-dentistry prep program are advised to choose a major and plan to graduate with a Bachelor’s degree from UCCS. A college program leading to a bachelor’s degree is considered by the faculty and the CU School of Dental Medicine’s Committee on Admissions to offer the best preparation for a student interested in Dental Medicine.

• Other programs may have different requirements. Students should check admissions requirements for all schools to which they plan to apply. Completion of requisite coursework does not guarantee acceptance into any professional degree.

• Students must complete the Dental Admissions Test (DAT) before applying to dental school.
