Pre-Dental Pathway

DR. GRANT HOKIT, PRE-DENTAL ADVISOR

The Pre-Dental Pathway at Carroll College prepares students to apply to graduate programs in dentistry. Careers in the dental field are in high and constant demand, and the Pre-Dental Pathway provides students a well-rounded combination of courses to better prepare them for dental school. To learn more about the Pre-Dental program at Carroll College, visit: https://www.carroll.edu/pre-professional/pre-medicine-pre-dentistry

Please note that completion of the Pre-Dental Pathway does not guarantee that all graduate/professional admission prerequisites have been met, nor does it assure admission into a dentistry degree program. Carroll students pursuing this pathway need to work closely with the appropriate pre-professional advisor, as well as the admission office(s) of all prospective graduate/professional programs.
