Hey All, I've been a science teacher for about 3 years., and I already have a masters in education.... would I need to get another masters perhaps in a heavy science to show dental schools I'm interested in d-school or would re-taking my pre-reqs be enough...(bio/chems/physics college classes "expired") I would consider other post-bach certificates/programs but i have to continue working full time, and some that I've looked at are in the daytime. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks

retake pre-reqs

masters in education can work in your favor since dental schools are in dire need of educators.. and professors will respect that you are a public servant for 3 years already.
 
I didn't hear that many case that the prereqs expire, besides med school. If your gpa is good enough, I think taking additional biology classes will suffice the purpose. Also imo, it will be hard to take masters in bio if you are going to have to work full time.
Call the schools. 🙂
