Pre-Dentistry
Bachelor of Science in Biology, Chemistry or Biological Chemistry (Pre-Dental Track)
Dentists are responsible for diagnosing, prescribing treatment and managing care for all dental disorders and diseases. Our Pre-Dental program is designed to help students succeed in gaining acceptance to a dental school accredited by the American Dental Association’s Commission of Dental Accreditation (CODA).
The Evangel University Department of Science and Technology is dedicated to the spiritual, academic and social growth of every student. The department’s purpose is to provide an excellent scientific education that is thoroughly integrated with the University’s emphasis on the development of strong Christian character. Within this framework, students must contend with new scientific, social, ethical and technological challenges. Students learn to communicate technical concepts clearly and effectively and exhibit analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Our pre-dental curriculum is tailored to provide the knowledge that students need for the Dental Admission Test (DAT) and dental school. Most pre-dental students choose a major in biology, biological chemistry or chemistry. The rigors demanded by courses in biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics challenge the students to successfully prepare for their future careers. The curriculum integrates research at several levels, culminating in a mentored research project either on or off-campus. We also encourage our students to obtain volunteer hours to gain valuable insights into the benefits and challenges of a career in dentistry.
