A a number of posts have questioned the need for a degree for dental school admission. More important would be knowing the number of applicants that were accepted without a degree. The data shown was obtained from the 2008 ADEA Official Guide to Dental Schools.

I wonder for those schools that show a higher percentage of enrollees without a degree, how many of those are enrolled in a program that allows them to obtain there Bachelors and DDS/DMD simultaneously? Anyway just a thought.

Oklahoma (which appears to have the highest percentage of students without a degree) may allow for such a program, but I don't know anyone who has gone through with it. I think that a friend of mine is looking into it, but I believe that most students are not going into OU Dental hoping to finish their B.S.

I could also be wrong...:laugh:

The relatively high number for San Antonio is due to the number of students who are in the 3+4 program.

I also think UTSA's numbers are switched for BS and MS degrees. 74 masters students can't be right.

I didn't even notice that for UTHSCSA... I think we only have 1 student in my class right now who has a Master's... at least only one that I am aware of.

Seventy four is the number of enrollees with a M.S. degree that SA is daydreaming about. The appropriate corrections were made. Thanx.
