Curious what you can do after your pre dental program? Find potential career paths below:
Dental School1
Our pre-dental program – with majors in biology or chemistry – is designed to help students fulfill entrance requirements for dental school. Becoming a doctor of dentistry is a distinguished, and often lucrative, profession, at an average annual median wage of $159,200. And at a projected growth rate of 7 percent over the next several years, demand is up, as well.
Natural Sciences Manager2
Apart from continuing studies into dentistry, a biology degree from University of the Cumberlands also offers a solid degree path, in and of itself, to a career. With it, you’ll have the scientific foundation you need to work in, and even manage, laboratories and scientific studies. The average median wage for Natural Sciences Managers is $129,100 per year with an expected growth rate of 6 percent by 2028.
Chemist3
Chemistry majors also have solid, pre-med career potential – including as a chemist. In a field projected to grow 4 percent over the better part of the next decade, chemists and material scientists average a median wage of $78,790 annually.
