ReadyOnly graduates of Ross Medical Education Center or Ross College’s Dental Assistant program are eligible to apply for this degree.
Students will further prepare themselves for their careers by learning fundamental skills that will apply in a dental office.
Students will have the opportunity to learn from allied healthcare professionals and receive instruction on a variety of topics such as the US Healthcare Delivery System, human anatomy and physiology, terminology, epidemiology, and pharmacology. Learning these topics will help students prepare for a career as a dental assistant, dental office manager, or patient service representative.

Courses for the Dental Assistant Specialist program include Core Concepts in Health, Lifespan Development, Computer Fundamentals, and Introduction to Communication.
Throughout the program, students will complete outside coursework, and the program will culminate in a capstone project that will allow students to demonstrate what they’ve learned in the course of their studies.
Before I enrolled at Ross, I was lost with what I wanted to do with my life, but I made a decision to attend Ross and pursue a career that has become my passion.

I am a student in the Pharmacy Technician program here at Ross. I love this program so much. It has helped and motivated me to make the best out of my life. I never thought I would have a job that was not in the food service industry! I really enjoy coming to school and learning as much as I can. The staff here has helped me reach for the stars and I have maintained a 3.5 gpa for the majority of this course. I cannot wait to graduate in March and live the life that my child and I deserve!

The program has changed me a lot. I learned to be more professional. I've learned a lot and I watched myself make progress, from getting better grades to having a better and more professional attitude, as well as understanding situations better. It also expanded my knowledge about the medical field. I recommend the program if you are looking to go into the medical field, I think it's a good start.
