  Eligibility

  Only high school graduates of the months immediately preceding the beginning of undergraduate study at 香港六合彩开奖 are eligible for consideration as a program participant. Transfer students or students who have already begun course work at Detroit Mercy are ineligible.

  Once admitted, a program participant must be enrolled as a full-time student in each regular semester, including a two-week course at the Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry at the end of the Winter semester (beginning of the Summer) in year one of the program. All necessary undergraduate coursework must be completed at the McNichols Campus within the three calendar years immediately prior to the beginning of the formal dental school phase of the program.

  Students successfully completing all requirements of the program will be granted the Bachelor of Science with a major in Biology and the Doctor of Dental Surgery. The Bachelor of Science is awarded after the required credits at the Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry are completed to fulfill remaining undergraduate requirements.

  Application Procedures

  See the website for Detroit Mercy Admissions for the early and regular submission dates for applications.  All who are interested in being considered for admission into the 7-Year Program should specifically and clearly indicate this at the time they submit their applications for admission as entering freshmen into the College of Engineering & Science. Applications for the program are to be sent to the office of Undergraduate Admissions at the McNichols Campus, not to the program coordinator nor to the School of Dentistry.

  The student's overall application, essay, and interview will be used to determine which students are accepted into the limited number of seats in the program.

  Dental School Courses Required to Complete BS-Biology degree

  Note that the bachelor degree is awarded after the completion of additional coursework from Detroit Mercy's School of Dentistry (after completing one or two semesters in dental school). These courses will be double-counted towards the DDS and BS degrees and will be used to complete the remaining BS Biology requirements. A student may also choose to complete the undergraduate degree before matriculating to the School of Dentistry. In this case, the student must complete BIO 4990, one of the following: BIO 4200 or BIO 4480, three approved upper-level biology labs, and five credits or more from BIO 2600-4999. Total credits for the biology major must be at least 39 credits and all core requirements must be fulfilled (no accelerated program core exemptions).

  In accordance with University policy on similar joint programs, the financial aid and/or scholarships are awarded separately for the undergraduate and graduate/professional portions of the programs. Students admitted to the School of Dentistry are considered graduate/professional students for financial aid purposes and will be considered for scholarship consideration at the time of admission to Detroit Mercy Dental.
