I have looked at several dental schools in the US and Canada – I cannot find any that will not accept you for admissions unless you have a Bachelors degree (usually 120 course hours of study) and then usually with pre-requisite courses.
How to find a Medical Scholarship?
- Welcome to Medical Scholarships. Here you who find important information that will help you in your search.
