Our pre-health programs equip you with essential knowledge for careers in medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, optometry, medical technology, and related healthcare fields. While many institutions limit pre-health students to biology or chemistry majors, our program delivers a more comprehensive education through varied course options and strategic regional partnerships, preparing you thoroughly for professional school applications. Dental professionals globally address oral health issues, performing services ranging from preventive cleanings to orthodontic treatments and complex surgeries. Ball State's pre-dentistry program combines core studies in biology, chemistry, physics, and other subjects required for admission to ADA-accredited dental schools. The curriculum allows you to pursue a complementary second major that enhances your qualifications if you choose alternative career paths. Although dental school typically follows a four-year undergraduate program, our pre-health advisors can help exceptional students complete their preparation in just three years.
