Dental Assistant Training Program

Thank you for your interest in the Dental Assistant Training Program with Texas State University Continuing Education. 

The previously offered face-to-face program, in collaboration with Gentle Dental in San Marcos, has been discontinued. However, if you are interested in enrolling in a dental assistant course right away, we offer a self-paced, open enrollment, online Clinical Dental Assistant course, which includes the opportunity for a face-to-face 40-hour Clinical Dental Assistant Externship with an approved dental office. 

We are also currently developing a new hybrid Dental Assistant Training Program, which will include both face-to-face and online training. If you are not looking to enroll right away, and if you would prefer a program that is not self-paced and that provides the opportunity to learn as part of a cohort of students from the Central Texas area, please fill out the Dental Assistant Program Inquiry Form, and we will contact you once the course is about to go live.
