PROGRAM INFORMATION:

One class of sixteen students is selected each year.  Students not selected are encouraged to enroll in and complete all general education courses while reapplying to the program for the next year.  Students should receive advising and counseling regarding their status and recommended courses.  The hygiene program is a rigorous, full-time program that requires commitment and hard work.  For a portion of their laboratory learning experiences it is necessary for students to practice on each other.  If for any medical or dental reason a student is unable to participate, it will be the student’s responsibility to provide a patient for each of those sessions.

SELECTION CRITERIA AND INFORMATION:

Selection to the program is based upon an objective cumulative point system derived from placement test scores, college grade point averages, college credits in the general education courses, college degrees or certificates completed, and dental or medical experience.  Candidates must, at the very least, be eligible for college-level English with a minimal grade point average of 2.0.  Remaining qualified applicants are placed on an alternate list to be notified as space becomes available.  The admissions committee reviews all completed applications

APPLICATIONS ARE CONSIDERED FOR EACH CLASS AND ARE NOT AUTOMATICALLY HELD OVER FOR THE NEXT SELECTION PROCESS.  IT IS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO RENEW AND UPDATE THEIR APPLICATIONS FOR THE NEXT YEAR.
