Pre-Dentistry

There are three dental schools in Texas, and they require a minimum of 90 semester hours, although more than 90 percent of applicants complete a bachelor’s degree prior to admission. Minimum course prerequisites include 14 hours of biology, 19 hours of chemistry (inorganic, organic and biochemistry), eight hours of physics and six hours of English. The Dental Admission Test also is required and may be scheduled at any time through Sylvan Technology Centers.
