Acceptance rates, how we stack up against the national average, and where we are accepted:
Wooster partners with Case Western Reserve University to offer a dual degree option for students:
Students in the Seven-Year Pre-Dental/Dental Program will spend three years at Wooster followed by four years at the Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine, culminating in the Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from Case Western Reserve University. Students accepted to this program will have guaranteed placement in the first-year class at the School of Dental Medicine at Case upon completion of their junior year at The College of Wooster, provided that they maintain a 3.5 GPA overall and in the sciences, plus receive a score of 19 or better on the DAT exam. Interested prospective students should indicate their interest in the Seven-Year Program in their application to The College of Wooster and must apply to this program before starting at Wooster. Applications must be received no later than November 15. Consultation with a member of the Pre-Health Faculty is strongly encouraged.
The College provides students with the opportunity to pursue a liberal arts degree from Wooster in conjunction with a graduate/professional degree from several leading universities. Graduate or professional programs in dentistry, nursing, engineering, polymer engineering, social work, and forestry and environmental studies are examples of eligible programs that may be approved. Specific requirements for some of these programs are provided below. The Dean for Curriculum and Academic Engagement will exercise judgment as to which graduate and professional programs are consistent with a baccalaureate degree and will set conditions for awarding the degree.
