Dental Hygiene students are admitted into Curriculum 21 under the major of Dental Hygiene, not the Clinical phase of the Dental Hygiene Program. Students are evaluated for the Clinical phase of the Dental Hygiene Program only after they have completed the following prerequisites courses: ENG 110, BIO 230, BIO 240, CHE 110 AND CHE 120. These prerequisite courses must be completed by the end of the Spring semester to be eligible for the Clinical phase that begins every Fall.
Students are informed via their Hostos email ONLY on acceptance or non-acceptance into the Dental Hygiene Program on or around the second to third week in June.
Dental Hygiene major students must meet with a Dental Hygiene Faculty Advisor once each semester to review requirements and the Dental Hygiene Program Eligibility Worksheet.
ADMISSION INTO THE PROGRAM IS NOT GUARANTEED AND IS BASED ON A POINT RANKING SYSTEM.
POINTS ARE AWARDED ACCORDING TO:
- SCIENCE GPA

AT HOSTOS COMMUNITY COLLEGE
- NO GRADE BELOW “C” ON SCIENCE
- LENGTH OF TIME AT HOSTOS COMMUNITY COLLEGE
