Most dental schools require some prior university study, including a strong background in the sciences. Carleton’s undergraduate science programs are designed to provide students with a comprehensive science education. Carleton science students benefit from small classes, personalized interaction with their professors, lab experience (including hands-on labs in your first year), and excellent co-op opportunities. Carleton’s Science Student Success Centre helps students get the most out of their lectures, study more effectively and get involved in research and the Science community at Carleton.
