The pre-dental major prepares you to serve faithfully in dentistry with both the knowledge and care to provide patients with optimal treatment. While you learn the mathematics and science you need, you’ll also be challenged as a steadfast Christ follower to be His hands and feet as you serve through the health care field.
Through the pre-dental major at Cornerstone University, you’ll receive a holistic education. In the classroom, you’ll be challenged to think deeply and prepare yourself fully for the task ahead of you. In your residence hall, extracurricular activities and interactions, you’ll discover what it means to lead a faithful life. These two aspects combine to cultivate in you a passion for serving and meeting people’s needs.
Most universities will prepare you for future education in dentistry. At Cornerstone, we prepare you for a life well-led: a life influenced by your peers and professors, a life impacted by what Christ has done for you. Your education here goes beyond the norm and instead becomes a trajectory of growth for your heart, mind and spirit.
