The final edition and full PDF version will include these updates and will be available in August prior to the beginning of the fall semester.
The minor in dental administration consists of 18 credits. Students are required to complete five (three credit) courses and then a course or courses in the recommended list, or another course that fulfills their learning goals (with program director approval).
