Are colleges with classes that have a "christian perspective" the same as regular classes?

Yes, it depends on what they mean.

Are they talking about nonsense such as “young earth creationism” then run because they obviously have zero scientific integrity and it is probably some fundamentalist bible college with no real interest in teaching science.

If they are talking about taking certain conservative Christian moral stands on health care issues like abortion and stem cell research then you have to make the call as to whether or not you share the same beliefs. That might actually describe some reputable schools like Georgetown and Notre Dame.

If they are talking about adding requirements that you take bible/religion classes and/or attend chapel or convocation while in your major you take ordinary science classes then they are more or less like a hundred other Christian universities from Georgetown to Baylor. And it isn’t likely to affect your dental school admissions in the slightest.
