The School of Dentistry's Pre-enrollment Support Program (PESP) helps students make the very demanding transition to the first year of their professional studies. In an effort to increase retention and graduation rate, this seven-week program gives students a preview of their first-year core curriculum material. To participate, students must be accepted to the Marquette University School of Dentistry.
