Requirements for consideration of an applicant are as follows:

• Graduation from high school.
• Acceptance to the university.

Complete application and all admission requirements listed above must be received no later than March 1, preceding the fall semester in which you wish to enter the program.

One class is admitted each fall semester. Students are required to attend five consecutive semesters to complete the dental hygiene curriculum. Admission is determined by the Dental Hygiene Admissions Committee. Each applicant is evaluated on the basis of academic preparation and record.
