A program that lets you get your science prereqs done for dental school if you havent done so for your undergrad degree.

Can you elaborate? How does this differ from taking those pre-reqs as you do in undergrad. I also have a BA, considering these options...

It doesn't differ really, you can either do it formally by enrolling in a post-bacc program or informally by just enrolling in pre-reqs without a specific program attached. Formal programs usually provide other opportunities such as voluteering, shadowing, research, test prep, application prep, or interview prep.

You only need to do a post-bacc if you don't complete pre-requisites prior to graduating with your bachelors. It is useful for people not majoring in some sort of science or career-changers.

Or you can also do post bac program if u feel ur GPA is not very competitive. I went to a formal post bac program to raise my GPA (I'm bio major). Oh they also have a committee LOR service if you wish to take advantage of that.
 
A post bac is a glorified term for 9 courses.

If you have a baccalaureate, post your baccalaureate.... Aka after your undergrad degree, you can take these 9 courses.

They call it a post bacc

The 9th course is calculus if you only count 8.
