A minimum of 90 hours is required to apply to most dental schools; however the recent trend is that only students with a completed B.S. (or B.A.) degree have been accepted. So, students are strongly encouraged to work towards a major. The model below is a representation of a major in biology and shows only the minimum course expectations for UNMC. Participation in this pre-professional program at WSC does not guarantee acceptance at the selected institution for completion of the degree.
