Dentistry (pre-)

Pre-Dentistry at The University of Iowa does not lead to an undergraduate degree; it is not a major. Students declaring pre-Dentistry are indicating that they plan to take the prerequisites to enter a dental college after their undergraduate work. Pre-Dentistry students are free to choose any college major, although many choose a science major. Look at the math requirements for the major you think you might want.

To prepare for dental college, you will need a year of college physics. Here is the math preparation you will need before you begin your physics courses.

Master the work in first year algebra (22M:1)
Master the work in second year algebra (22M:2)
Master the work in trigonometry (22M:5)
