Students are admitted based on weighted admission criteria. Once you’re admitted to the Dental Hygiene program, a dental faculty member will serve as your advisor. This provides you with the opportunity to work closely with one person who helps you schedule classes and work through any problems that might arise, interacting daily as you complete the program.
