  Eligibility

  Only high school graduates of the months immediately preceding the beginning of undergraduate study at University of Detroit Mercy are eligible for consideration as a program participant. Transfer students or students who have already begun coursework 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 arts degree with a major in Chemistry and the Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. The bachelor of arts is awarded after the required credits at the Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry are completed to fulfill remaining undergraduate requirements.

  Admissions Requirements

  The Selection Committee will consider for acceptance into the program an applicant who has met ALL of the following basic criteria:

  • Has been accepted for admission as a freshman student at University of Detroit Mercy.
  • Has submitted to the Admissions Office, following acceptance as a freshman student, a 350-400 word personal essay on a topic supplied at the time of application.
  • Has two letters of recommendation addressing the candidate's qualifications for the program.
  • Has achieved a high school ACT composite score of at least 28 (min of 26 on each subsection), or a combined SAT score of at least 1300 (min of 620 on ERW, min of 610 MATH), not super-scored. Applicants applying under the test-optional policy are eligible to apply. The average cumulative unweighted high school GPA for matriculants was a 3.85 and the average cumulative weighted high school GPA was a 4.14.
  • Has earned for the first six semesters of high school a grade point average of 3.5 overall on a 4.0 point scale, and the same for the combined mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology courses.
  • Has directed the high school office to supply to the Admissions Office an up-to-date high school transcript by January 15 of the application year.

  Applicants who have satisfied the above requirements will be reviewed by the 7-Year Dental Selection Committee. The Selection Committee will make the final determination on the limited number of students accepted into the program.

  Students accepted into the program should complete 25 hours of dentistry observation/shadowing, before starting courses at Detroit Mercy.

  An applicant will be eligible for admission to the dental school phase of study following the successful completion of all aspects of the initial three years of the program. This includes:

  • Successful completion of all required courses
  • Overall GPA of 3.6 or better, and science GPA of 3.5 or better
  • Scores of 20 or better on all sections of the DAT (the Dental Admission Test, the national standardized examination required of all applicants for admission to professional schools of dentistry) prior to August 1 in the second summer of the program
  • Complete at least 60 hours of shadowing with a U.S./Canada-based general dentist
  • Successful completion of AADSAS application prior to  August 1 in the second summer of the program and interview with Detroit Mercy's Dental School Admission's Committee

  Application Procedures

  See the website for Detroit Mercy Admissions for the dates for early and regular submission of 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 University's 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 BA-Chemistry degree

  Note that the bachelor degree is awarded after the completion of additional coursework from Detroit Mercy's School of Dentistry (after one or two semesters of coursework). These courses will be double-counted towards the DDS and BA degrees and will be used to complete remaining BA Chemistry requirements.
