I searched for this specific question, but could not find it anywhere! For refererneces sake, I am taking about UNT when I talk about this college.

Alright, I am looking into majoring in Kinesiology at UNT, because there are many applicable interesting clasees (biomechanics, anatomy, micro-biology, physiology of sports movement, motor movement, and scuba diving😉) and there are many different tracks that you can choose from?

Education ~ for education/coaching purporses
Health/Fitness ~ really stresses health/body (nutrition, sports, biomechanics)
General ~ that is very vague and allows many Kine electives but only 18 free elective hours, making pre-reqs very difficult
Allied Health Pre-Professional ~ this one is tricky, I don't understand its purprose but it has all of dental pre-reqs built in except Bio-chem, but has some elective courses, and not very "technical" except medical terminology, advanced athletic training, modalities?.

My question is about the Allied Health Pre-Professional track. That is my choice I'm considering right now when I realize the room for upper division biology courses and all the pre-reqs. For some reason I have read some negative feed back on "allied health" things, but being pre-professional and still including pre-reqs and upper division biology, is it an ok choices?

Sorry for the lengthy post!
 
No one cares what you major in as long as you can prove to the ADCOMs that you can handle what they are about to throw you in dental school, which encompasses upper division science classes.

So what do you do?
Major in whatever you want.
Take all of the pre-requisites.
Throw in a bunch of upper division science classes.
Last but not least... do well in all of your classes but especially so in your science classes so that you'll have a nice sGPA.
