How many schools are listed for Dental Assistant programs under ADA CODA?

• A. 67
• B. 240
• C. 14
• D. 325

Answer: (D)

This item tests your knowledge of the current count of CODA-accredited dental assistant programs listed by the ADA CODA. CODA, the accrediting body for dental education under the American Dental Association, maintains a public directory of all programs it accredits. The number 325 reflects the total of dental assistant programs currently listed as CODA-accredited in that directory. Since new programs can gain accreditation and others can close or change status, this count can shift over time, so checking CODA’s official directory will give the latest figure. The other numbers don’t reflect the most up-to-date listing, which is why 325 is the best answer.
