Pre-Dental Advising
Dentists play a critical role in detection of diseases in the mouth and help patients maintain the health of their teeth, gums, and other tissues of the oral cavity.
While pursuing a bachelor's degree at Tennessee Tech, dental career track students will also incorporate prerequisite courses required by dental schools. Graduate professional schools accept many majors, so students are encouraged to explore a major according to their interests and strengths.
Acceptance into dental school is highly competitive. Our advisors assist students in navigating the academic, extra-curricular and healthcare criteria required for a strong application to graduate professional school.
