Selection Process
The admission checklist criteria are in the dental hygiene program
brochure. This criteria are weighted to arrive at a score for each
applicant.
The selection committee meets in May to discuss all applicants. The
selection committee consists of the program director, department faculty,
and advisory committee members.
The committee selects the 24 highest scoring as primary candidates and
the others are alternates ranked also by their highest scores. If a
primary candidate withdraws his/her application the vacancy is filled
by an alternate with the highest score on the alternate list. This process
continues until the class of 24 is present on registration day.
All applicants are notified by letter of the selection committee's
decisions. Applicants not selected are advised to contact the Counseling
and Testing Department or Dental Hygiene Program Director (Dr.
David G. Arreguin) for advice concerning their academic
goals.
