Dental assistant programs in Michigan
39 dental assistant programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free
35 schools offer these dental assisting programs, and Michigan has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.
Dental assistants care for patients, take x-rays, keep records and schedule appointments. Many programs take about a year and lead to a certificate or diploma, and some states require you to graduate from an accredited program and pass an exam.1
In Michigan, 11 of the 39 programs take students without a high school diploma, 25 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 3 ask for earlier courses first.
By kind, the 39 programs here are dental assistant (35 programs), dental assistant (associate degree, 3 programs) and dental front office (1 program).

Where the Michigan dental assisting program numbers come from
Which Michigan dental assisting programs are on this list?
These are the dental assisting programs Michigan approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Michigan offers.
How the prices and results of Michigan dental assisting programs are measured
Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
