The pre-dental and pre-medical programs are
designed to prepare students for entrance to medical and dental
schools. Qualified Dallas Baptist University students have
been very successful in gaining admission to these schools.
Students planning a career in medicine or dentistry should
earn the bachelor's degree before beginning professional study.
The student may major in any discipline, taking as electives
the courses needed to meet entrance requirements of schools
of dentistry and medicine. A sound liberal arts education
is a common prerequisite for admission to professional schools.
The following courses meet the requirements
for entrance to medical and dental schools in Texas:

Nursing Program
Dallas Baptist University is committed to producing servant leaders who have the ability to impact the world of health care for Christ. Building on the excellence of our biology and pre-medical programs, DBU has established a Transfer Student Articulation Agreement with the Baylor University Louise Herrington School of Nursing in Dallas.
The program provides DBU pre-nursing students with a clear path to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. These students have the opportunity to complete their education from two respected institutions who both educate within a Christian environment, while training for God's call on their lives.
Through this special program, qualified pre-nursing students attend DBU to earn the first 70 hours of coursework before transferring to Baylor's School of Nursing to complete their Bachelor of Science in Nursing. DBU students may remain in DBU housing, while completing their degree in nursing at Baylor.
