Students must complete an application specific to the Dental Hygiene Program and have their acceptance into the program confirmed prior to enrolling in any dental hygiene coursework. Program information and application procedures are posted on the Dental Hygiene web pages on the MCC Web site at www.mohave.edu. The program accepts 18 students each fall. The application deadline is March 1.
