Dental school course requirements vary somewhat from program to program, but overlap to a significant degree, as can be seen below when comparing current pre-requisites for Indiana University and the University of Louisville. Dental schools tend to recommend an emphasis on biology over chemistry in undergraduate course work, and the general rule of thumb is that the candidates should have had at least one year in each of the following: biology, physics, inorganic chemistry, and organic chemistry.
