Students in associate degree programs may benefit from adding a certificate to their areas of expertise. A minimum of a 2.00 grade-point average must be obtained for all required courses in order to receive a certificate. This certificate can be applied towards a Health Services Technology Associate Degree. The Dental Assisting program is offered through Madison Adult Career Center as a FLEX program and does not follow the college’s calendar. The course of study consists of 3 courses: DENT 1010, DENT 1030 & DENT 1050. The student must sign up for all 3 courses to complete the program. After registering for these courses at North Central State College, students MUST contact Madison Adult Career Center to finish the registration process.
