- Required Chemistry and Physics courses include:
- At least 3 semesters
of Chemistry chosen from: Chem 101 &
53 or Chem 1 & 51; Chem 102 & 54; Chem 241; Chem
242.
- 2 semesters of Physics chosen from: Phys
1 or 101 or 150; Phys 2 or 102 or 151. Chem 241 should be taken
by the end of Sophomore year. Students are encouraged, but
not required, to take a second semester of organic chemistry
as a free elective.
- For information on General Requirements, please see: www.college.upenn.edu/curriculum/index.html
- Free Elective or General Requirement courses should be used
to fulfill the Writing Requirement. For information on the Writing
Requirement, see: www.college.upenn.edu/curriculum/requirements/writing.html
- Biol 202 and 221 are recommended intermediate
courses, as they provide strong general background for dental
education. However, the student is free to replace either of
these with Biol 230 or 240. Students following Track 1 should
take Biol 202, 221, and either Biol 230 or 240.
- A Dental School Submatriculation student should not take Biol
215, 306, 402, 475, or 476 since Submatriculation students receive
credit for these courses after completing corresponding courses
taken during their first year of Dental School. Biol 219 or 251
may be taken as an Additional Biology course, but may not be used
in place of 202 or 221.
Notes:
- The College requires at least 28 courses to be taken
in the College in order to graduate with a Biology Major. The
remaining 8 courses can then be taken in
the Dental School.
- Applicants for the 7-Year Dental Plan are only accepted
at the time of admission to Penn, before Freshman year begins.
- Biodental students must maintain an overall GPA of 3.5
or higher and a GPA of 3.5 or higher in their science
courses.
- Biodental students must take their DATs by November 15
- Fall of their Junior Year.
- See the Biology Major Manual for a complete description
of the Biology Major www.bio.upenn.edu/programs/undergraduate/manual/main/index.html
