Pre-Dental
This curriculum in the Pre-Dental Track program is designed to prepare students for graduate and professional work in the dentistry field. Working one-on-one with a faculty advisor allows students to carefully craft their course selections, participate in field experiences and internships, and conduct discipline-specific research in their senior capstone course. Our students graduate with the capacity to integrate new and pre-existing knowledge, keenly observe the world around them, and exhibit self-discipline and critical thinking skills.

“Saint Joe’s went above and beyond in helping me succeed. From the amazing science professors to the hands-on labs and lectures, I couldn’t have been more prepared for my didactic classes in dental school. Almost everything I learned in my first year biomedical class was review, as it was covered so thoroughly at Saint Joe's. I made many connections with students and faculty that wanted to see me succeed, and still check-in with me to this day. As hard as dental school can be at times, my learning experiences at SJC couldn’t have prepared me better for a smooth transition from undergrad to dental school.”
