Program Requirements
Recommended Course Sequence
The courses listed below are a suggested sequence for students completing the Dental Assistant certificate as the professional certification requirement of the Health Sciences degree. As long as prerequisites are met, courses may be taken in a different order.
General Education Requirements
All General Education requirements are met within the Program Requirements listed above.
Diversity and Social Justice Requirement
Within the degree requirements, students must complete a 3-5 credit course that meets the college’s Diversity and Social Justice (DSJ) requirement. DSJ courses are designated in the college schedule and are designed to meet other general education or technical requirements simultaneous to meeting the DSJ requirement (e.g., ENGL& 101 with the DSJ attribute meets both the ENGL& 101 requirement and the DSJ requirement).
Note: Not all sections of a course meet the DSJ requirement. Students should review the class information to ensure the class section includes “course attributes: meets diversity requirement.”
Visit the DSJ requirement webpage to view the current list of general education and technical courses that meet the requirement.
Students who have taken a DSJ class in a previous certificate or degree, do not have to take another DSJ class.
