Pre-Dental Scholars Program
A cooperative program between Marquette University’s College of Arts and Sciences and College of Health Sciences and the School of Dentistry, the Pre-Dental Scholars Program is specially designed for the high school senior who is ready to make a commitment to a pre-dental education and a career in dentistry. A maximum of 20 students per year are enrolled in the program and the students receive a conditional acceptance to the School of Dentistry. Fulfilling the requirements of the program guarantees full acceptance to the School of Dentistry by the end of the junior year of college. The students then receive a bachelor’s degree upon successful completion of their first year in dental school. Students accepted into the Pre-Dental Scholars Program must enroll in either the College of Arts and Sciences or the College of Health Sciences. High school students applying to the program must have followed a rigorous college preparatory curriculum. Students may also apply to the program upon completion of the first term of college, but no later than September 1 following the freshman year. Applicants already enrolled in college must have completed the following courses by the time of application with a grade of B or better:
First-term freshman applying for freshman enrollment:
| BIOL 1001 | General Biology 1 (or equivalent) | 3 |
| CHEM 1001 | General Chemistry 1 (or equivalent) | 4 |
Second-term freshman applying for sophomore enrollment:
| BIOL 1002 | General Biology 2 (or equivalent) | 3 |
| CHEM 1002 | General Chemistry 2 (or equivalent) | 4 |
Students in the program must maintain grades of B or better in all math and science course work and are required to have a cumulative 3.500 GPA at the end of each of their first three years in order to earn admission to the School of Dentistry.
For complete requirements and application procedures, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at (414) 288-7302 or (800) 222-6544.
Extended Pre-Dental Program
The Admissions Committee has an established program for selected dental school applicants whose previous record of college achievement was not competitive for admission to the School of Dentistry. A plausible rationale for the student’s earlier lack of academic performance must be present for a student to be considered for this special program. Any new motivational factors that may be pertinent and which are expected to result in higher academic achievement by the student will also be considered.
The program involves the participation of selected applicants in a full year of extended pre-dental studies (at Marquette University), particularly in the sciences, to provide them with a means to improve their academic record and possibly gain acceptance to a future class.
Continuing Education
The Marquette University School of Dentistry offers courses for graduate dentists throughout the year in virtually all phases of dentistry. These courses vary in length and content and are designed to accommodate the general practitioner and specialist.
Course announcements are mailed regularly to all Wisconsin dentists and other interested parties.
