Course Transferability
Transfer Course Equivalents
The Dental Hygiene program has several course pre-requisites that must be fulfilled prior to applying. If you are a transfer student, you may bring your coursework with you.
The following chart has examples of courses from local colleges that are equivalent to the prerequisites courses required for the Dental Hygiene Program. This list is intended only to serve as a guide to assist students when they meet with counselors to make their educational plans. It is not intended to substitute for guidance from a college counselor or institution evaluation.
Science courses must be at least 4 semester units and include a lab component or a separate lab course must be taken in addition to the lecture course. It is required that Anatomy and Physiology courses be taken at the same college to assure that all the necessary course information is covered unless each Anatomy course and Physiology course is a stand alone course.
