Allied Health technology programs have a selective admission process that includes academic criteria of an algebra, biology and chemistry course at 2.0 or greater (high school or college) within the past five years and a GPA of 2.0 or greater. General Chemistry (CHM 110) within the last five years is a program prerequisite requirement for the Dental Hygiene Technology. Technology courses are sequential, offered only one time per year and are open to students who have been admitted into the technology program. RDG 120-Critical Reading and Thinking is a required course unless the student is exempt.
