Maryville’s Pre-Professional Program advisers are committed to
helping students arrange appropriate programs of study. Interested
students should contact the office of the School of Liberal Arts and
Professional Programs for more information or to arrange a program.
While no one major is prescribed for admission to Dental School,
strong preparation in the biological and natural sciences is
generally recommended, along with a solid array of courses in the
liberal arts. Similarly, any Liberal Arts Major that exercises the
student’s analytical reading, writing and critical thinking
abilities can prepare a student for Dental School. |

DAT in April |
Remember, along with a good DAT score and GPA, dental schools look
for a well-rounded résumé. Start volunteering in hospitals, dental
offices or your community. Get involved in school activities and
think of a creative personal statement.

required for dental school admissions:
