Students are admitted under the Associate in General Education Degree until they have met admissions requirements and are ready to apply and compete for a seat in the Dental Assisting program.
In order to academically compete for a seat in the Dental Assisting program, a student must complete the Dental Assisting Selective Admission Application.
All minimum requirements listed in Phase I must be successfully completed before a student can apply and compete for a seat in the program. The details of this process and the criteria used to rank a student will be covered in detail at the mandatory Dental Assisting information session.
Please note that high school students seeking admission must meet the same criteria as a non-high school student.
Dental Assisting is limited enrollment, which means students must apply for the program.
There are specific admission criteria, a separate admission application, and ranking
processes that determine who will be admitted to the program.
Students who are admitted to the Dental Assisting program must be full-time students and follow the semester-by-semester curriculum plan.
