Masters in arts or science?

[Rvting]

For my graduate program should I attend the masters of science for biology or masters of arts in biology course to improve my odds for dental school? I really just need to increase my GPA.

I want to make sure that if I can't get into dental school I can continue my master's education and get a MS in biology for a better career, but master's of arts in biology doesn't have a thesis or research. What are some suggestions and ideas?

What is your ultimate goal in going through these master's programs, presuming these are not special master's programs that prepare you for dental school?

I did a Masters of Arts in Biomedical Sciences program and I can tell you that Dental Schools do not care what specific degree you have. The program is more to show that you can handle the rigors of a graduate program. In terms of future careers if dental school doesn't work out, I would say a MS is better than a MA, which is what I have.
