Dental Assisting

The Dental Assisting Program is founded on humanistic teaching, service, scholarly endeavors, and patient care. The learning environment should stimulate the discovery of new knowledge, techniques, and service that contribute to the holistic health of the public as well as the growth of the dental assisting profession. The faculty’s primary responsibilities are to provide comprehensive approaches to student development that include and encourage critical, independent, and professional thinking. Ultimately the Department is committed to providing educational programs for a culturally diverse student population to optimize each individual’s growth.
