<p>Is there any major at FAU which will allow me to become a dental assistant?</p>
<p>Nope - the vocational degrees like that are usually reserved for community colleges (some of them call themselves state colleges now). You would attend FAU to get a four year undergraduate degree (B.A. or preferably a B.S.) in something like biology and then from there apply to become a dentist. This is what three of my friends succeeded at doing.</p>
<p>That said if you’re fixated on being a dental assistant and not a dentist, there’s Palm Beach State College in the northeast corner of FAU’s Boca Raton campus. You could attend PBSC for dental assisting and still reap the atmosphere/rewards of FAU.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
