Developmental Biology

[berndtl1]

How many dental schools actually require it? It is recommended for my degree, but I'm not sure if I have room for it . If it was absolutely necessary I could make it work. Thanks for your help!

None that I know of.

If it is recommended for your degree, won't you be taking it anyways?

Biochemistry is a better option if you haven't taken it already.

I need to have 7-9 credits of biology electives to earn the 121 credits necessary for my biology major. There are several options for filling this requirement, and I think some of the other options are more interesting than developmental biology, and I would rather take those classes than possibly "waste" a biology elective credit on a class that might not even be require by many dental schools. Especially since I can earn the 121 credits without it. Hopefully that kind of makes sense?

Biochemistry is required by my degree, so I'll be taking that anyway

Ah, well above you had said it was "required" for your major, so I misunderstood. But yeah, take anything else that interests you, especially if the class is recommended by dental schools

Taking developmental biology will likely allow you to efficiently recognize fundamental terminology i.e. induction, transduction, process, -blasts, prenatal, etc. commonly found in relevant topics in ds such as oral histology, embryology, dental morphology, periodontics, advance topics, etc.

Also, I would definitely take biochemistry.
