Premedicine/Predentistry
Majors:
Minor:
The Bachelor of Science with a major in premedicine (MED) or predentistry (DEN) is an interdisciplinary curriculum of study. It is distinctively designed to provide a science-based, diverse education as a preparation for admission to any of the health professional schools including medical, dental, physician assistant, optometry, pharmacy, veterinary, and chiropractic. Courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics comprise the science core of the major. A substantial complement of humanities and social sciences courses are also required. Within this framework the curriculum is flexible and can be tailored to suit personal interests. During the first two years, students enroll in courses appropriate for entry into professional schools while they also fulfill basic University requirements.
Admission to professional schools depends upon many factors in addition to the curriculum or major. Academic standing, performance on standardized examinations, practical experience relevant to the profession of interest, and adherence to application procedures are all important. The Premedical Programs Office addresses these factors through a comprehensive approach to pre-health care education.
Along with the administration of the DEN and MED majors, the Premedical Programs office acts as the focal point for all matters related to admission to any allied health care professional school. It is an information clearing house, functions as a liaison with professional schools, and coordinates the application process. The Premedical Programs Office also coordinates a number of internships, health related student organizations, and community based clinical opportunities for students. Students in any major planning to apply to professional schools are urged to maintain a close relationship with this office.
The University automatically enrolls entering premedical or predental majors into special orientation classes, and identifies them to the Premedical Programs office. Members of the Premedical/Predental Advisory Committee advise these students. However, advising services are available to all preprofessional students regardless of their major. Students in other majors may elect to have committee members serve as their secondary advisors; such students should identify themselves to the Premedical Programs office.
In addition to providing counseling, Premedical Programs offers a seminar series, clinical opportunities, grants for health care related experiences, and scholarships. Since admission to professional schools is highly selective, the program monitors the academic progress of MED/DEN majors, and provides feedback at the end of the first and second year. Transfers to other majors, particularly to science majors, can usually be accommodated during the first two years without affecting normal progress towards graduation.

The Common Academic Program (CAP) is an innovative curriculum that is the foundation of a University of Dayton education. It is a learning experience that is shared in common among all undergraduate students, regardless of their major. Some CAP requirements must be fulfilled by courses taken at UD (e.g., Capstone and Diversity and Social Justice). Some major requirements must also be fulfilled by courses taken at UD. Students should consult with their advisor regarding applicability of transfer credit to fulfill CAP and major program requirements.

Minor in Medicine and Society (MDS)
The minor in Medicine and Society provides students with an interdisciplinary approach to 1) understanding contemporary complexities of accessing, delivering, and receiving healthcare, and 2) understanding how issues related to medicine, health, healing and illness impact individuals and communities.
The minor includes courses in the social science fields as well as humanities disciplines. For students planning a career in healthcare, understanding the ethical, anthropological, social, and psychological issues related to medicine can help them become more effective and compassionate providers.
For students with academic or professional interests in the intersections between health and society, the minor offers a collection of perspectives that can inform their future studiesand careers. The minor will engage students from all majors who want to better understand the institution and practice of medicine and its position in, effects on, and responses to society.
Students can earn the Medicine and Society minor by completing the two required courses and three additional courses from the approved course list.
The Medicine and Society minor is housed in Premedical Programs.
