What do most dentists major in, in College?
Answers:
dentistry
Chem, Biochem, Biology
first you need a BS in one of those then you can apply for dental school
some colleges do offer 3-4 year predental programs, but dental schools would rather see that you when all the way and got your BS
You could major in lots of things Biology, Medicine but you will eventually have to go to Graduate school of Medicine/Denistry. The closer your ungraduate major is to this specific subject the easier it will be!
I was a biology major.
I think most dentists were in the biological sciences. Although, a few of my classmates were English or history majors.
It helps to look into the requirements for admission to a dental school and work backwards. This will help you choose your college major and it might even help you choose your college. Typically, it is easier to match up the requirements for dental school admission with the requirements of a science major and biology seems to be the closest match. You could be a history major if you wanted to be, but then all of your electives would probably be used up trying to take courses required for dental school admission.
Typically, you graduate from college with a bachelor's degree and then start dental school, which is a whole separate entity from college. Some colleges offer combined programs where the really bright and focused student might be able to combine some credits and actually enter dental school before receiving the undergraduate degree. Obviously, you would have to know this well in advance, as it might even determine where you apply to college. You do not have to disclose this intention as you are applying to the college, but you need to look into the program almost immediately, because it will determine quite a bit about what courses you need to take as soon as possible in college.
