Pre-Dentistry - BS

Through the 3+3 program, students can complete all pre-dental and general education requirements and the courses for the biological sciences or chemistry majors in just three years (six regular semesters). 牙科学校第一年的课程学分可以用来获得学士学位, 在完成牙科学校第三年的学习后，你将获得DDS学位. Students admitted to the pre-dental advantage program who fulfill both academic and non-academic requirements are guaranteed an interview at the Dugoni School:

• 完成所有牙科预科课程要求和牙科学校的先决条件
• Maintain an overall grade point average (GPA) of 3.博彩平台网址大全或其他院校的课程成绩在05分或以上, BBCP (biology, biochemistry, chemistry, and physics), and Science
• 牙科入学考试各科成绩均达18分或以上
• Submit a completed dental school application, 包括两名太平洋科学学院教员和一名牙医的三封评估信, by September 1 of the application cycle
• 完成至少40小时的普通牙医实习

The Pre-Dental Advantage Program’s default path consists of three years of undergraduate preparation and three years of dental school. However, you can apply to accelerate to the 2+3 program, 或者在本科部分花更多的时间转到4+3项目.

The 2+3 program provides the minimum foundation in pre-dental education through two years of study on the Stockton campus for a select group of highly qualified students. 在第一学年结束后的夏天, 如果您符合以下标准，并获得您的牙科前顾问的批准, 你将在斯托克顿学习第二年的课程，然后申请杜戈尼牙科学院, 你在哪些方面会成为面试的重点.

High School Preparation

和牙医谈谈，或者在工作中跟随他们，看看这个职业是否适合你. The path toward a career in dentistry will require extensive dedication which you can deliver if you feel comfortable with your choice. 

大学课程最好是在高中经历结束后在大学里修. 高中生可能对大学教育感兴趣, however, in order to facilitate their adjustment to college or to save money by satisfying college course requirements. 

Advanced courses taken while in high school can sometimes interfere negatively with the college curriculum. The items below categorize courses by the type of interaction that they have with the curriculum of the Pre-Dental Advantage Program. 

• Green light classes. AP, IB or college courses taken in high school (early college) may be used to satisfy requirements of the general education portion (except science) of the Pre-Dental Advantage Program, as long as they can be transferred as equivalent to courses at Pacific that satisfy such requirements. This equivalence can be verified at the ROAR webpage. Courses in chemistry and biology may be a good preparation for college when they do not articulate with a Pacific course or when they articulate with Pacific courses that have code numbers lower than BIOL 51 for biology (ex: BIOL 41) or lower than CHEM 25 for chemistry (ex: CHEM23).
• Yellow light classes. AP, IB或大学早期课程的物理课程可以与PHYS 23清晰地表达, 25, 53或55，但建议在太平洋学习物理.
• Red light classes. AP, IB or early college classes cannot be used to reduce the number of chemistry and biology courses taken while in the Pre-Dental Advantage Program. 如果你在进入太平洋之前完成了核心的生物或化学课程, 你将被要求在博彩平台网址大全学习这些科目的高级课程. 如果你已经学过或想学这些课程, you should inform your undergraduate admission counselor at Pacific and request the transfer of your courses to Pacific. This is necessary to avoid conflicts that could interfere with your registration and financial help. 虽然我们很感激你在来太平洋之前有兴趣学习大学水平的课程, 我们强烈建议你避开核心科学课程, 除非你想用博彩平台网址大全更高级的化学和生物课程来取代它们.

• 请注意，其他DDS程序可能需要物理, 数学或心理学将在 四年制大学学习.
• 对2+3选项感兴趣的学生需要满足三个 GE categories (理科除外)，在博彩平台网址大全(AP)开始之前完成工作课程, IB or Early College courses).
