Bachelor's in Predental

Michigan State University (MSU) is a prominent public research university located in East Lansing, Michigan. Founded in 1855, MSU has grown into one of the largest universities in the United States. Renowned for its excellence in academics, research, and innovation, MSU offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs across various disciplines. The university's commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive community is reflected in its vibrant campus culture. With world-class faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and a strong focus on interdisciplinary collaboration, MSU provides students with a transformative educational experience that prepares them for success in their careers and contributions to society.

Predental is not offered at MSU as a major or minor; instead, it is a preprofessional path that students can select if they plan to pursue graduate-level dental health professions. These include careers in general dentistry, orthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, endodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics and other dental health careers. Majors in the biological sciences are popular among preprofessional students interested in a predental path; however, there are no restrictions on what major a preprofessional student is allowed to choose. Since dental schools do not take a student’s major into account when making admission decisions, students should choose a major that they will enjoy and excel in. MSU’s preprofessional advisers will work closely with students to ensure they complete any prerequisite courses required by their chosen health profession.
