Curriculum Map for the Area of Concentration in Biological Sciences
Option 1: Biology, Pre-Dentistry
This map is not intended to be a rigid template. but rather a suggested sequence of courses that will fulfill General Education, Biology Area of Concentration, and requirements for the baccalaureate degree, as well as meet the admission requirements for dental school. Several first year courses require minimum ACT Composite, Math and/or English scores. You should consult with your academic advisor for course scheduling during the pre-registration period for each semester. Full program and course descriptions, as well as degree requirements, can be found in the 2009-2010 Morehead State University Undergraduate Catalog.
