The College of Dentistry prerequisite courses at Wright State University.

Applicants for admission to the College of Dentistry at The Ohio State University must meet the course requirements listed below. These requirements can be satisfied by courses taken at the university listed above as indicated, when completed with the grade of C or better. In some cases, there may not be a published equivalence for a prerequisite course listed. In these cases, please click on the Contact Transfer Credit Coordinator link to find the transfer credit coordinator who can best assist you.

The information provided below is derived from transfer credit equivalencies available on the Transferology website (https://www.transferology.com/welcome.htm), a course equivalency tool utilized by Ohio State and many other universities. This does not imply transfer credit equivalencies and is not intended to provide a guarantee that these university courses will subsequently be evaluated as equivalent to specific Ohio State courses. Rather, completion of these courses will satisfy the program prerequisites and thereby insure that the applicant has the academic preparation for advanced study in the professional program.

Please note that these courses have previously been determined as an exact equivalent(s) for the prerequisites identified below. There may be alternate course options which are not recognized as transferrable but can be used to fulfill a prerequisite.

SPECIAL NOTES
Courses completed at a community college:   Dentistry requires a GPA of 3.0

In cases where Anatomy and Physiology are offered in a combined sequence course, both courses are required in order for credit to be awarded. For these courses Ohio State will award credit for EEOB 2510 (anatomy) and EEOB 2520 (physiology)

An applicant must complete a minimum of 90 quarter hours or 60 semester hours including prerequisite courses at an accredited four-year college or university. It is noted that two-year and three-year applicants are rarely admitted. It is favorable that dental students enter the college with a baccalaureate degree. There is no preferred major for admission into the College of Dentistry. Applicants should have earned at least a B average in the required courses to be considered.

**Dentistry does NOT accept any international work to fulfill prerequisites.**

This evaluation is valid for the current application cycle only. Evaluated courses and the transferability of these courses can change, at any time, due to course content and re-evaluation. After this date, it may be necessary to contact the Admissions Office for course or program changes. If you have any questions, please contact: Graduate and Professional Admissions at:
