What is "college level math"? for dental hygiene school?

Question

Hello, I live in california and am applying to a dental hygiene school once I finish my pre-requisites. I need to take "college level math" but I'm not sure what this is. Is this just algebra?

Thank you :)

Answer 1

Here are the requirements for the dental hygiene school I am attending:

--> A "C" or better in all of the following high school courses (2 semesters) or college level courses:

chemistry, biology, geometry, algebra

--> High school graduation or a GED/HSED

--> Assessment testing: Compass or Asset with appropriate scores, ACT with a composite of 20, or SAT with math & verbal for a minimum total of 1200

If you have lower than the required grade for the classes list above, you can take the college level course, but you have to receive a "C" or better. Also, if your ACT or SAT scores are too low, then you will have to take the compass or asset test through the college and receive the required grades.

If you do all of the above, and are accepted into the program, it has a different grading scale than what you are probably use to.

The lowest grade you can get in your classes is a 76% (C). Anything lower, you have to retake the class.

You could go online and find a school near you and look up the requirements yourself, they are probably going to be similar to my school

Hope this helps you.
