An articulation model to increase student enrollment in a dental hygiene program.
Models to increase student enrollment have been presented accessing both community college and university systems. While these approaches identify certain potential student consumers, the secondary and postsecondary student has not been considered as a viable recruit for baccalaureate degree programs. The purposes of this paper are to (1) present a model to access secondary students with entry-level skills using a partnership agreement; (2) establish a mechanism where dental aides are provided with opportunity for advanced placement; (3) provide ladder educational steps for advancing motivated and qualified health professionals; and (4) provide criteria for statewide development and sources of potential external funding for statewide implementation. This articulation model is an example of one method to increase student enrollment in both associate and baccalaureate degree programs utilizing an established statewide secondary vocational program.
