As DMD majors, students will complete a Bachelors of Science in Engineering degree which includes 6 courses in Mathematics, 4 courses in natural science such as Physics, as well as courses in Psychology, 13 Computer Science courses, 7 social science, humanities, and technically based courses, and 2 electives. In addition, DMD students will take 5 courses in Communications and 5 courses in Fine Arts. DMD students, like many engineers at Penn, take 40 courses to earn their degree and yes, this can be done in 4 years, with time for social science and humanities electives in writing, music or whatever suits their interests! There is even time to study abroad or do a dual degree!
