*The combination of the Pre-Dentistry Program with a major in the College of Arts and Sciences can usually be finished in 4 years if both major and Pre-Dentistry classes are started the first year (the Communication Sciences and Disorders major is an exception). The combination of the Pre-Dentistry program with a major outside of the College of Arts and Sciences, such as most majors within the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences, the College of Engineering and Mines, the Nistler College of Business and Public Administration, the College of Nursing and Professional Disciplines, the College of Education and Human Development, and the School of Medicine and Health Sciences, may take longer. All students must earn at least 120 credits (36 of which must be 300-400 level), fulfill Essential Studies requirements, and complete all major requirements in order to graduate with a bachelor’s degree from UND. Students should meet with their Health Sciences advisor and major advisor regularly to ensure all requirements are met by the time of graduation.
**Courses for Groups 1, 2, and 3:
Group 1 courses are required: COMM 110, ENGL 110, ENGL 130, MATH 146, PSYC 111, SOC 110, a Statistics class, an art class
Group 2 courses are good electives: ECON 201, MGMT 300, COMM 212, COMM 380, MED 205, N&D 240, PHE 101, PHE 102, PHE 103, PHIL 120, PHIL 245, PHIL 251, PSYC 250, PSYC 270, an advanced writing/humanities course and/or a world language
Group 3 courses are upper level science electives:
Fall courses: BIMD 328, BIOL 315, BIOL 390, BIOL 420, BIOL 442, PPT 315
Spring courses: BIOL 341, BIOL 369/L, BIOL 415, PPT 315
Students are recommended to take a lighter credit-load (12-13) the semester of their DAT exam.
