| In the Traditional Program
one class of twenty-four students is selected each year. The DEAL
Program selects twelve students per campus in the fall and spring terms
with open enrollment in the summer. Students not selected are encouraged
to enroll in general education courses while reapplying to the program in
the following year. Students should receive advising and counseling
regarding their status and recommended courses by the Dental Assisting
faculty.
The Dental Assisting Program is a
rigorous, full-time course of study that requires commitment, motivation
and hard work. All dental courses require at least a grade of "C"
for successful completion and continuation in the program. For a
portion of their laboratory learning experience, it is necessary for
students to practice on each other. If, for any medical, dental or
personal reason a student is unable to participate, it will be the
student's responsibility to provide a patient for each of those sessions. |
