The Pre-dental Scholars Program is an accelerated program that allows students to receive an undergraduate degree with conditional acceptance to Marquette University’s School of Dentistry, the only dental school in the state of Wisconsin. Pre-dental scholars complete a bachelor's degree and a dental degree in seven years rather than the eight years normally required.
Pre-dental scholars enroll in the College of Health Sciences, major in biomedical sciences and complete the undergraduate portion of their studies in three years. The first three years of the program, students complete the curriculum and major requirements. Courses taken in the fourth year (first year of dental school) count as requirements towards the bachelor's degree and also toward the completion of the dental degree.
